Could At Least This One Leftist Politician Actually Face Justice?

Patriots have grown weary of the spectacle: President Donald Trump and numerous other patriots were the victims of bogus, politically motivated prosecutions designed to discredit and destroy them when they couldn’t be defeated at the ballot box. The Biden regime classified others as terrorists for the crime of being pro-life or a traditional Catholic, or (worst of all, in the regime’s eyes) both. Leftists, meanwhile, have committed all manner of crimes with absolute impunity, knowing that their ideological comrades in the judicial system will let them off easy.

A two-tier justice system? Absolutely. But now, there is the glimmer of a hope that one of the most brazen leftist scofflaws, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Mogadishu), may actually face justice. It looks as if she will get off scot-free for making $30 million disappear on her financial disclosure forms, but the bit about marrying her brother, which is less about incest than it is about immigration fraud, could still end her ugly career as a Somalia-First American legislator.

Fox News reported Sunday that “White House border czar Tom Homan confirmed on ‘The Sunday Briefing’ that the Department of Homeland Security is looking into allegations involving Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., but would not disclose details about what he described as an ‘ongoing criminal investigation.’”

Wow. The DOJ conducting an “ongoing criminal investigation” of a Democrat. The End Times must indeed be upon us.

Homan, however, refused to provide any specifics about the criminal investigation of Ilhan Omar (which phrase is a lot of fun to type; try it and you’ll see). “I know things are going on,” Homan said, to the disappointment of all those who have watched Omar game the American system for years now, “but I can’t give specifics of what’s happening.”

Homan did say that “if someone committed an immigration violation, if someone committed marriage fraud or anything like that, regardless if they’re a congressman or not, no one’s above the law. So, I’ll leave it at that. We’ll let HSI, Homeland Security Investigations, continue the investigation.” All right, but here’s hoping that they wrap up this investigation quickly, before the socialist America-haters regain control of the House and elect Omar to succeed Mike Johnson as House speaker.

Homan also said: “I’m confirming that ICE is, yeah — look, I said months ago that there’s something that’s been reported and needs to be looked at.” Omar denies everything, of course, but DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin didn’t seem to find her denials convincing. He said flatly: “Something’s going to happen…. We know that she married her brother to try to bring him to the United States. We know he now lives in London. There may be more to this, the whole family migration and possibly some illegal activity for them to come to the United States to begin with…. If we can prove it, that you shouldn’t have been here in the first place, we will deport you.”

Will Ilhan Omar actually end up being deported? If there is any justice, yes, but unfortunately, she has too many friends and supporters among the Democrat Party establishment to make that a likely outcome. If the Trump administration ordered her deportation, the left would become more hysterical than ever, and claim loudly, shrilly and relentlessly that Trump the Orange Fascist was vindictively using the Justice Department and manipulating immigration laws to go after his critics. If the Democrats controlled the House at the time of this deportation order, it wouldn’t be surprising if it became grounds for the next Trump impeachment.

And so, criminal investigation or no criminal investigation, Ilhan Omar has nothing to worry about. She will go on spewing her anti-American venom in the U.S. House of Representatives, and come January, she will have quite a few more socialist Muslims to help her advance her agenda. While the very fact of this criminal investigation is heartening, it is unlikely to deliver genuine justice for the American people. The American left is too dead-set against that. After all, they’re the ones who developed the two-tier system in the first place. We are likely stuck with it unless and until leftists suffer a ballot box defeat that is resounding enough to allow for a full and thorough housecleaning.

Editor’s NoteSocialism has infected the Democrat Party, and it’s spreading FAST. Democrats are claiming there’s nothing to worry about, but we know the truth.

The Communist Crazies Amongst Us: History of The Democratic Socialists of America

“Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide.” John Adams

“Democracy is the worst form of Government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.” Winston Churchill

“Government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.” Abraham Lincoln


The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) was founded in 1982 primarily by author and political activist Edward Michael Harrington Jr.

Edward Michael Harrington Jr. (1928–1989) was famous for his influential 1962 book The Other America (which helped inspire President Lyndon B. Johnson’s War on Poverty which created the Medicare, Medicaid, and Head Start programs), served as the DSA’s first chairman until his death in 1989.

  • Political Leadership: He was a prominent figure in American leftist politics and served as a founder and the first chairman of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) in 1982.

The organization was created through the merger of two left-wing groups:

  • Democratic Socialist Organizing Committee (DSOC): Founded in 1973 by Michael Harrington (who had split from the Socialist Party of America).
  • New American Movement (NAM): Founded in 1971 by activists including Michael Lerner, emerging out of the New Left and feminist movements.

Harrington rejected the notion that poverty was the result of individual laziness or moral failure.

The DSA Platform

The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) outline their platform around replacing capitalism with a system based on collective ownership, worker democracy, and social equality. Their core policy priorities center on key social, political, and economic reforms:

Economic Democracy & Worker Power

  • Public Ownership: Socializing and nationalizing key sectors of the economy—such as finance, energy, and major utilities—under public or worker-cooperative control.
  • Union Protections: Passing legislation like the PRO Act, expanding collective bargaining rights to all workers (including gig and undocumented workers), and supporting union organizing.
  • Wealth Redistribution: Enacting heavy wealth taxes on corporations and high earners to finance public goods, alongside capping working hours (e.g., a 32-hour workweek).

Universal Social Goods

  • Healthcare for All: Establishing a single-payer, free universal healthcare system (Medicare for All) that covers full physical, mental, reproductive, and gender-affirming care.
  • Housing as a Human Right: Expanding social and public housing, instituting universal rent control, prohibiting market evictions, and ending homelessness.
  • Green New Deal: Transitioning the energy grid to 100% publicly owned renewables, decarbonizing the economy, and guaranteeing green jobs for displaced workers.

Political & Judicial Reforms

  • Democratic Restructuring: Expanding the House of Representatives, abolishing the Senate, eliminating the Electoral College in favor of a national popular vote, and adding seats or term limits to the Supreme Court.
  • Expanding Voting Rights: Granting voting rights to non-citizens, restoring voting rights to incarcerated individuals, and granting statehood to Washington, D.C. and U.S. territories.

Civil Rights & Social Justice

  • Criminal Justice Reform: Demilitarizing and defunding police departments, abolishing mass incarceration, and redirecting resources toward social programs and mental health infrastructure.
  • Immigration & Equity: Abolishing ICE, ending deportations, granting legal status and citizenship paths for all undocumented immigrants, and strengthening legal protections against discrimination.

Anti-Imperialist Foreign Policy

  • Demilitarization: Reducing federal military spending, closing overseas bases, and ending U.S. military aid foreign interventions.
  • International Solidarity: Ending economic sanctions/embargoes and supporting global movements, including explicit endorsement of Palestinian liberation and the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) campaign.

WATCH: Clips from the Democrat Socialists of America National Convention

The Bottom Line

Based on all of the above we find that the platform of the Democratic Socialists of America is:

  1. Anti-The U.S. Constitution
  2. Anti-The Bill of Rights
  3. Anti-American
  4. Anti-Christian
  5. Anti-Semetic
  6. Anti-Capitalism
  7. Anti-Life
  8. Anti-Liberty
  9. Anti-Family
  10. Anti-Freedom
  11. Anti-Gun Rights
  12. Anti-Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.

NC DEMOCRAT’S DACHAU CONCENTRATION CAMP HORROR: Trump Supporters ‘Belong’ in Nazi Concentration Camp

The difference between the two parties could not be any clearer.

How can any decent, rational American vote for these savages?

NC Democrat Legislative Candidate Shelly Headen: ‘Visiting Dauchau [sic] Concentration Camp in Germany…..This is where Trump supporters belong’

By Matt Mercer

North Carolina Democrat state legislative candidate Shelly Headen posted a Facebook story from a vacation showing her in front of ovens in a German concentration camp memorial, saying, “Visiting Dauchau [sic] Concentration Camp in Germany… This is where Trump supporters belong.”

Headen was reportedly visiting Dachau, where the memorial states that 41,500 people were murdered.

In social media photos, Headen is seen smiling as she stands in front of what appears to be crematorium ovens, which were used by the Nazi SS to burn the bodies of Jews and other prisoners who died or were murdered at the camp.

Headen faces incumbent Republican state Rep. John Blust in a suburban Guilford County district. On her Facebook page, Headen says she is a CPA and business owner “running to restore human decency,” an ironic statement after saying political opponents should be in concentration camps while posing and smiling in front of ovens at a Holocaust memorial site.

Six million Jews were murdered during the Holocaust.

The rhetoric expressed by Headen is growing among Democrat candidates and left-wing agitators across the nation. Earlier this year, a crazed gunman attempted to break through security presumably to assassinate President Trump at the White House Correspondent’s Dinner, and Michigan Muslim socialist candidate Abdul El-Sayed said, in response to an attack against a Jewish synagogue in his state, “Hurt people hurt people.”

The apparent call to burn Trump supporters isn’t her only expression of support for violence. In another Facebook post, Headen appears to call for an unspecified terrorist attack against America, writing, “I think our only hope is an attack on US soil… preferably Alabama, Louisiana… where the stupid people are.”

Headen has also faced domestic assault allegations in which her husband is listed as the “potential victim.”

A pair of what appear to be law enforcement “incident/investigation reports” from 2024 indicate Mrs. Headen was the suspect in both incidents.

In a statement on September 3, Headen said of the domestic violence allegations, “In 2024, during a high-stress time in my marriage, my husband and I had a couple of arguments that escalated. During one argument, my husband grabbed me, and I fell backward and hit my head. In my fear and confusion, I sought support and protection from those I trusted—I called 911.”

That description contradicts police reports, noting two separate law enforcement visits, not one, in both of which she is listed as the suspect and her husband the “potential victim.”

Breitbart News has reached out to Headen for a response to her inflammatory Facebook posts and clarification on the domestic violence allegations. The campaign has not responded by press time.

WW III Began in 1955

You can avoid reality, but you cannot avoid the consequences of avoiding reality.”— Ayn Rand

The Cold War has never ended, it covertly and imperceptibly moved to WWIII. The Socialist-Communist aggressors have never stopped fighting Western civilization; they just changed the methods and dirty tricks of Stalin’s Doctrine. The root causes of instability in America are Stalin’s Doctrine and aggressive forces that implement it. After Stalin’s death, Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev, following Stalin’s design, gave the idea to the members of the Communist Party—drug addiction and narcotics trafficking should be viewed as a strategic operation that would directly weaken the enemy. The effect of drugs was analyzed by scientists from the Soviet Academy of Sciences and the conclusions were that drug trafficking would be extremely effective and that the most vulnerable countries would be the United States, Canada, France, and West Germany. This study was approved in 1955 by the Soviet Defense Council working in concert with the KGB. It was the first formal Soviet decision to launch narcotics trafficking against the bourgeoisie and especially against the American capitalists. Here is the first part of the document:

“Soviet strategy for revolutionary war is a global strategy… narcotics strategy is a sub-component of this global strategy. First was the increased training of leaders for the revolutionary movements—the civilian, military, and intelligence cadres. The founding of Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow is an example of one of the early actions taken to modernize the Soviet revolutionary leadership training. The second step was the actual training of terrorists. Training for international terrorism actually began as ‘fighters for liberation’…The third step was international drug and narcotics trafficking. Drugs were incorporated into the revolutionary war strategy as a political and intelligence weapon to use against the bourgeois society and as a mechanism for recruiting agents of influence around the world.” My column: American Carnage February 11, 2017.

​Following the order, the KGB established a drug-cartel in South America, which is still drugging America today Please, read attentively the above-mentioned text: it is a calculated and well- coordinated design to dismantle Western civilization by a variety of criminal actions around the world. Leader of “Fighter for Liberation,”  Eser Arafat was recruited in 1957.  History tells us that recruitments and training around the world have been very successful. Moreover, today, in 2026 it is quadrupled by the Chinese Communists and the entire new “Axes of Evil”. When I heard  Hasan Piker singing “We are Charlie Kirk” mocking the memory of assassinated Charley Kirk, I was afraid to have a heart attack. It wasn’t only deadly wrong; it was a diabolic lie that brought me back to the Soviet Union—the Evil Empire.

​I have been reporting and warning America 15-20 years ago by my books and columns about global terrorist organizations, but you were unable to read them. The Dems’ FBI made me a Foreign Agent to prevent you from reading my books and knowing the truth in 2002. As a matter of fact, my major topic was and is those ”global terrorist groups,” What Exclusive talks about, I named the KGB’s Mafia/Army-the Evil Doer. The world was supposed to know all of that 15-20 years ago. But it didn’t happen, America was deaf and defenseless allowing those terrorist groups to infiltrate the American soil and the leadership of the Dems’ party. I asked Jim Jordan to find the FBI’s man; he ignored my request. Finding the spy in the FBI, we could’ve revealed the Dems collusion with international terrorism. Unfortunately, Republicans had been hibernating at the time. I am afraid the man is  still within the FBI. Read mv column: Shocking! The Horrible Anatomy of Failed American Intelligence  August 17, 2026.

I am a former Soviet defense attorney, who lived in the Soviet Union for fifty years under Stalin’s Soviet System and Immigrated to the  U.S. in 1981. I have been trying to explain the criminal nature of Stalinism for forty years. I am not able to repeat it again. Yet, I gave you the origin of the current Drug Cartels. I know the Soviet System like my ten fingers and Its Socialist modus operandi: lies, deceit, fabrication and fraud, let alone cheating and stealing…   I was writing about Socialist modus operandi and warning Americans for decades. To understand the Ideological Chaos in America you have to know and remember it. Just watch new Socialists, they are all using Soviet Socialist modus operandi of lies and deceits, fighting against the American Constitutional republic on  the American soil today. 

Unfortunately, America doesn’t know real Socialism and allows enemies to create Ideological Chaos in America. To understand  who the new Socialists of the Democrat party are and grasp their agenda aimed against the American republic, please watch Zohran Mamdani, Abdul El-Sayed, Melat Kiros, Hasan Piker, Rashida Tlaib, and Daria liza Avila Chevalier and thousands of others. . For me, Hasan Piker is a leader of Muslim brigade, and when he said ”Hamas is 1000x better than Israel,” I saw it as his direct connection to Stalin’s terrorism and his model of Soviet Socialism, which I called Soviet Fascism.

 Stalin was brought up by Muslims streets; it was Comrade Stalin who married Islam with Communist Ideology—they were united by hate towards Western civilization. I called it a menacing Fusion of Jihad and Soviet Fascism. Stalin bequeathed to start implementation of Soviet Socialism from Iran in the Muslim Middle East. The Chairman of the KGB Yuri Andropov had done it in 1979. The war against Iran has a long history and Stalin’s legacy: it inextricably ties to Russian politics, Houthis attacks at the Red Sea and war against Ukraine… Read my columns to learn the details.

 The Genius of the 20th century, Winston Churchill, predicted that “The Fascists of the Future will call themselves Anti-Fascists.”  He was right. Years ago, believing in Churchill, I focused your attention on BLM, Antifa, and other fascist-terrorists groups fighting against the American republic. I knew they were connected to Terrorist Russia and I warned you about a coming danger… A week ago, Trump administration reveals:
“EXCLUSIVE: State Dept reveals Portland Antifa connection to Hamas, Iran’s IRGC in sweeping terror action,” by Peter D’Abrosca, Fox News, August 26, 2026:

Exclusive: A State Department memo reveals that an international technology collective, now under a U.S. global terrorism designation, provided services to overseas terrorist groups and violent far-left agitators causing chaos in American cities, according to a copy obtained by Fox News Digital.

“Far-left terrorism poses a profound threat to the United States and the broader West,” Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in a statement to Fox News Digital. “Today, the United States sanctioned Autistic/Inventio – a major far-left tech collective whose services are used by the most active and violent Antifa cells in the United States and across the world.”

“…Now under a U.S. global terrorism designation, provided services to overseas terrorist groups and violent far-left agitators causing chaos in American cities.” The main topic of my writings was and is those terrorist groups managed by the KGB’s Mafia/Army-the Evil Doer.

Don’t be surprised by the election in New York City, bringing Socialists like Zohran Kwame Mamdani from Uganda, a country of Soviet Fascism(check the history). Like Zohran Mamdani’s parents have prepared Zohran for political career, the same way parents of Abdull El-Sayed, and Hasan Piker had prepared their sons. Those are the Dems’ members of Stalin’s menacing fusion—Jihad and Soviet Fascism. Hasan Piker is an extreme communist political commentator, canceler of the Dems’ party. He is a Muslim, brought up in Turkey. His parents prepared him to be a political activist, like Mamdani’s parents did. Both families came from the countries with “Putin’s Network of Influence.” Turkey has close ties with Putin. Abdull El-Sayed came from Egypt; he wants to be an American Senator. Another member of DSA Melat Kiros came from Ethiopia, a neighbor of Somalia. Do you remember a huge Soviet fraud brought by Somalian refugees to America? Does that geography tell you anything??? 

It tells me a lot, please watch those six. They are native of different countries, and have different native languages, but they all speak eloquent English (better than I do). Their looks are different, but their behavior and ideas are identical, as if they are one team. They all want to be a part of the American government, but they hate America and its successful capitalism, they hate Trump and united under the TDS.  For me, they are the enemies of the American republic. Some of them have close relations with “Muslim Brotherhood,” some love Hamas and rioted for Free Palestine. Their Anti-American ideas in their every speech reminded me of the Soviet apparatchiks. They are arrogant and bold without shame fighting for power and control of America. Remember, they all had come from the countries of Soviet Fascism implemented in the 1960-70th .

For me, they are “Putin’s Network of Influence” run by the KGB’s Mafia/Army-the Evil Doer. We are watching an Ideological Invasion of America by Socialist-Communists Cabal of Soviet Fascism. I am not sure that any of the 18 Intel agencies knows and understands invasion of our country. They didn’t know that the migrant Invasion under Biden’s open borders policy, had been destroying America for four years bringing millions of killers, rapists and spies. The migrant’s invasion has also brought to America 300 thousands of unaccompanied children from 120-160 different countries and continents. That was also managed by the KGB’s Mafia/Army-the Evil Doer. Our Intel Community has not been ready for both Invasions, they don’t know the Socialists-Communists Cabal of Soviet Fascism and they are not alone. Listen to this: Rolling Stone considers Hasan Piker the third most influential speaker in America!!!???

If Rolling Stone doesn’t know about Socialism and the enemy, who promote it, I have to enter that discussion, though I have been writing and warning America “it’s coming” for decades. We are talking about Soviet Socialism, the only one existing Socialism. I’ll start with Capitalism, familiar to you: the engine of the capitalist economy is the small businesses and corporations. To give you the best and less expensive products the small businesses are competing. The same way the corporations are competing to produce the best technology and machinery for the population. Competition is the moving force—the engine of Capitalism. 

Socialism doesn’t have small businesses and corporations. Nobody competes under Socialism, because Socialism doesn’t have Private Property. Period. Let alone the absence of freedom and personal liberty… Socialism is a huge corrupt, abusive and violent regime of one-party bureaucracy. A big Socialist government decided all problems of human lives. When the Dems Socialists complained about affordability of capitalism, I was laughing—Socialism has a limited or Zero affordability. “The meaning of AFFORDABLE is able to be afforded : having a cost that is not too high.”  Under Socialism the shelfs of the stores were empty very often, price didn’t matter. If you want to know how a celebrated lawyer was buying meat under Socialism, please, read my book Baltic Winds Testimony of a Soviet Attorney Xlibris, 2002, P 168. 

I also want you to know the living conditions under Soviet Socialism. Please, read:

The Face of Stalinist Socialism—A Communal Apartment”

Until I got married and moved to Estonia, my entire life since childhood had taken place in a communal apartment (kommunalka)…  After the 1917 Socialist Revolution in Russia all Real Estate of the country was confiscated and nationalized, thus becoming the property of the State. As thousands of 2 to 7 room apartments had become property of the government, they were remade to be communal ones, where each family received one room.” a fragment from my book: What is Happening to America? The Hidden Truth of Global Destruction Xlibris, 2012. Pp. 334-336 or read my column: Shocking! The Horrible Anatomy of Failed American Intelligence  August 17, 2026

Reading about a Communal Apartment, you will learn about the awful living conditions under Soviet Socialism, the only Socialism, existing in the world and spread by the KGB’s Mafia/Army-Evil Doer around the globe. I knew all the methods of Soviet Apparatchiks, if you don’t know this term, those are the Soviet Commies. I see them in America and that’s outraged me. In my opinion, those six Socialists are very well trained physically, ideologically, linguistically and psychologically to be good messengers, agitators and propagandists. They are malicious and very dangerous by aiming their sting against the American republic. Look at their policy program dismantling the U.S. Constitution and country’s design left to us by our Founding Fathers. I believe that Mr. Robinson was driven by that ideological agitation to stop Charlie Kirk talking: in the best traditions of Soviet Fascism, he assassinated Charlie a year ago. If you want to protect A.I. please, read my columns and learn about Soviet Fascism…

It wasn’t a coincidence for me to choose the KGB’s Mafia/Army-the Evil Doer as my main subject, writing about its criminal activities, implementing Soviet Fascism around the world for decades. This aggressive agency has infiltrated the Dems party in the 20th century and now is coordinating all resistance to the Trump agenda and current Anti-I.C.E. riots in cahoots with Socialists and Communists of America. Watch the KGB’s Mafia/Army in Minnesota! The Truth about the Dems of the state must be known to the voting public. It is not Marxism that is destroying the American Republic. It is the Democrats who hate American capitalism and the TDS is a convenient cover-up for them. It is the Democrat party infiltrated by the ideology of Soviet Fascism destroying our country!!! Soviet Fascism never sleeps we can expect attempts to assassinate Republican candidates on the eve of the Midterm election. For your information the Socialist-Communist Cabal of Soviet Fascism has killed 200 million people in the 20th century!!! The Soviet culture of assassination is growing among young people…

​Republicans undermining their own position talking about Marxism: by that, they exclude the opportunity to reveal the real enemy, who is destroying America with impunity—the KGB’s Mafia/Army-the Evil Doer—International Terrorist Organization. Marxism has never been materialized in Europe; it was left on papers of Marxist Theory in the 19 century. Stalin and his model of Soviet Socialism, vessels of Marxism to the 20th century Russia. It was the Soviet KGB’s Mafia/Army-the Evil Doer that infiltrated the Dems Progressives Leadership and implemented Soviet Socialism, which I called Soviet Fascism in America. Remember America under President Biden! Now, it is the term of the 18 agencies of the American Intelligence Community to investigate the events I have been writing about for forty years and save the American Constitutional republic…Read my column WWIII: It Is not Marxism, It Is Soviet Fascism  March 13, 2026.

My fellow young Americans!

The Democrat party is infiltrated by the ideology of Soviet Fascism destroying our country! Educate yourselves by reading my columns. Don’t allow foreign thugs to implement Soviet Fascism in America!

President Donald J. Trump waging war against Iran used the last chance for Western civilization to survive.

God bless President Donald J. Trump and his family!

God bless the United States of America—America the Beautiful!

Socialism and Communism Are Two Sides of the Same Cult

“The goal of socialism is communism.” — Vladimir Lenin

“How do you tell a Communist? Well, it’s someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It’s someone who understands Marx and Lenin.” — Ronald Reagan, Remarks in Arlington, Virginia (1988)

“Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.” — Sir Winston Churchill, Speech at the Conservative Party Conference (1948)

“Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.” — Mao Zedong, Problems of War and Strategy (1938)

“The theory of the Communists may be summed up in the single sentence: Abolition of private property.” — Karl Marx & Friedrich Engels, The Communist Manifesto (1848)

“Socialism means a classless society, or it means nothing at all.” —  George Orwell,The Lion and the Unicorn (1941)

“The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people’s money.” — Margaret Thatcher, Interview for TV-am (1976)


While socialism and communism are distinct political and economic ideologies, they share foundational origins and core theoretical principles. Both emerged as critiques of capitalism during the Industrial Revolution, primarily through the work of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels.

  • Shared Critique of Capitalism: Both systems view capitalism as inherently exploitative, arguing that it creates class divisions, inequality, and the concentration of wealth and power in the hands of private capital owners (the bourgeoisie) at the expense of the working class (the proletariat).
  • Public Ownership of Means of Production: Both frameworks advocate for collective or public control over key industries, resources, and the means of production (such as factories, land, and infrastructure), rather than leaving them under private ownership for profit.
  • Focus on Social Equality: A primary objective of both ideologies is to reduce or eliminate socio-economic inequality, ensuring that societal resources and wealth are distributed to benefit the public interest rather than private profit.
  • Centralized Planning: Both models place a strong emphasis on economic planning and regulation—whether through state authority, public councils, or community organizations—to direct production, set prices, and distribute goods based on societal needs rather than free-market forces.
  • Theoretical Continuum: In classical Marxist theory, socialism is conceived as a transitional stage between capitalism and communism. Under this view, a socialist society gradually restructures the economy and social relations until it eventually evolves into communism.

Key Distinction While both aim for public control, socialism typically allows for state governance, mixed economic structures, and varying degrees of private property. In contrast, ultimate communism envision a stateless, classless, and moneyless society where all property and goods are held entirely in common.

The Bottom Line

In an article titled “Data Shows The DSA Takeover Of The Democrat Party Is Nearly Complete“, Ireland Owens reports:

The majority of Democrats support the Democratic Socialists of America, a Quinnipiac University poll released Thursday found.

The latest survey shows that among Democrats, 59% consider themselves DSA supporters, compared to just 30% who do not. Out of total voters polled just 26% consider themselves supportive of the DSA, compared to 66% who do not consider themselves backers of the socialist group.

If a candidate for elected office identifies as a DSA supporter, 17% of respondents say it makes them more likely to back that candidate, the survey states. By comparison, 43% of voters say it makes them less likely to vote for that candidate while 35% of respondents say it makes no difference.

America under the Democrat Socialists is at the state governence level, once Democrat Socialists, like Socialist Zohran Mamdani, are elected they quickly move to a stateless, classless, and moneyless society.

Remember this when you vote in the 2026 Mid-Term Elections and the 2028 Presidential Election.

Data Shows The DSA Takeover Of The Democrat Party Is Nearly Complete

The majority of Democrats support the Democratic Socialists of America, a Quinnipiac University poll released Thursday found.

The DSA did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.

Several Democratic socialist candidates have notched primary wins in recent months. Darializa Avila Chevalier in New York, Melat Kiros in Colorado and Donavan McKinney in Michigan all defeated incumbent Democratic lawmakers while Chris Rabb in Pennsylvania and Claire Valdez in New York won their open seat races.

DSA supporters generally have high levels of education but tend to fall within lower- to middle-income brackets, the DSA North Star’s most recent survey shows.

“Our candidates are going up against corporate backed opponents, and they’re going to need your help to get over the finish line this November,” the DSA said in a Oct. 3, 2025 X post.

In June, the DSA released a new platform, dubbed “Workers Deserve More,” which in part proposes to “draft a new constitution, and create a democratic socialist republic.” The socialist group’s platform has drawn intense public criticism from congressional Republicans.

“The DSA Communists have now published their insane agenda to take over Congress and America,” House Speaker Mike Johnson wrote in a June 27 X post. “We will not let it happen! WE ARE READY FOR THIS FIGHT!!”

The Quinnipiac University survey was conducted from Sept. 3-6 throughout the contiguous U.S. The poll surveyed 970 self-identified registered voters with a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3.9 percentage points, including the design effect.

Never Forget and Look for the Tricks!

Many of you have been listening to me over the years so you know that one of my favorite American Heroes is Frederick Douglass. Sadly, I have come to find out that many new listeners have absolutely no idea who Frederick Douglass even is and what his contributions to America were. To me, Frederick Douglass lived the American Dream. Born as a Slave, he never used victimhood or race as a reason to hold himself back. He never blamed others. He charted his path, educated himself and became one of the greatest success stories in America.

One of the many travesties of being a slave is that slaves were never taught to read. The owners felt that if a slave learned to read, they would find out what they were missing in life and their ability to advance. So reading and education were never allowed.

That did not stop Frederick Douglass. Not only did he learn to read and write, he educated himself ending up later on in life as an advisor to President Lincoln. Douglas felt that if you were a slave who did not learn to read, you would be a slave forever. He was determined that was not going to happen to him.

In my travels, giving seminars all over America, I met a wonderful man, KCarl Smith, who devoted much of his writings to studying Fredrick Douglass. K Carl was a military man who became a writer and studied the Life of Frederick Douglass. I met him when we were on the speaking circuit and I was talking about the importance of education and what a disservice we are doing to our youth by not teaching them to read!

I am proud to call KCarl a friend. Join us in Segment 1 as we talk about one of the Greatest American Heroes, Frederick Douglass.

KCarl Smith is a retired U.S. Army officer who spent sixteen years on active duty, including Airborne and Air Assault service, before becoming one of the leading voices for liberty in America today.

KCarl is the creator of the Frederick Douglass Republican Engagement Strategy and the author of Douglass vs. Marx: The Battle for America’s Soul. His book is a book of thirty-one imagined debates between Frederick Douglass and Karl Marx, two men born the very same year, 1818, but who never actually met.

Every word each man says in the book comes straight from what he really wrote or said. KCarl has spent years bringing Frederick Douglass’ message of liberty to campuses and communities across the country and he’s here to talk about it.

I want to wish all my Jewish friends and family a Happy New Year, aka Rosh Hashanah. I also want to wish peace and love for the families and friends of the victims of 9/11. I tell you all, WE WILL NEVER FORGET. God Bless you and God Bless America.


I have devoted Segment 2 of the show to two extremely important and misunderstood topics. It seems as though every news website has an article on surveillance, a.k.a. Flock, cameras and AI Data Centers.

Although these topics are dealt with separately, they are really part of the same program. The cameras collect the DATA and the AI Data Centers store the DATA.

What is a Flock Camera: “A Flock camera is an automated license plate reader (ALPR) made by Flock Safety. It photographs every passing vehicle, reads the plate and stores the sighting in a searchable database used by police, neighborhoods and businesses.” https://flockcameralocations.com/whatis-a-flock-camera

Note – “Flock” has become the generic name for surveillance cameras.

Beware! There are many companies making these cameras today. The strongest competition is Axon. What we do know is: The technology is continually improving and will increase the amount of data with 24/7, 360 degree surveillance of the vehicle and surrounding area and individuals.

Key Questions and Concerns: Who owns your data? Who has access to your data? Who controls this data? Who is this data being shared with? Who is paying for these cameras and the data collected? Where are the contracts? Did your town have a meeting or inform its citizens?

If you listen to the Technocrats, they tell us the real reason for the cameras is all about behavior modification. They want us to act the way they want, think the way they want, do what they tell us to do, eat what they tell us to eat, buy what they tell us to buy. They can do that by using cameras to manipulate our behavior.

This is all about:

MONEY • POWER• CONTROL

The surveillance cameras are the tools that will enable them to implement the Great Reset/Agenda21/2030, 15 minute cities and their sustainable green fraud schemes. They are being sold as a tool to help law enforcement solve crimes. But at what cost? Imagine if these cameras were available during Covid?

Several states and counties have cancelled contracts but look for the tricks. In Florida, Gov DeSantis cancelled cameras on state roads and highways because he felt that Flock Cameras were “out of control “. Will your sheriff move them to county roads?

Currently, there are over 120,000 cameras in America, taking over 2 Billion images of what? stored where? Enter the AI Data Centers.

AI DATA Centers are popping up all over America. There are currently approximately 5000. PS: China has about 400. How are they beating us?

These centers are being sold as a way for counties to make added revenue in a time when money is tight. The focus is on water and energy usage and jobs. Since there are billions of dollars on the line, I am sure they will come up with a way to create water and energy systems that will not harm the environment, pocketbook or health of the residents. Do not let your towns subsidize anything. They are billionaires and don’t need your money. They should pay you. As for jobs, once construction is over, the center will need about 25-40 full time employees. Oddly enough, there are no comments from conservationists on AI Data Centers and what the data centers do to our environment, water and animal populations.

Funny how no one mentions the major purpose to these centers which is storing the surveillance data collected from spying on people. From the minute you get up until you go to bed, something is collecting data on every move you make, everything you do, every facial expression you make. Once money is digitalized, you will learn to comply or your card or chip will not work. No food, gas, healthcare, transportation. Resistance is Futile. Where did you hear that before? You will own nothing and they will be very happy.

This is a clear abuse of the 4th Amendment. I think so.

What can we do? Doing nothing is not an option. That means giving up. Pay attention to your local community.

Say NO. Share this information.

9/11 Did Not End That Night

Twenty-five years ago, I had just returned from a conference in Austria when several European friends left me with an unsettling warning: the terrorist threat against America was extraordinarily high.

Their concern stayed with me. For several years I had written and spoken publicly about Islamist terrorist organizations and the danger they posed, particularly in the Middle East and to Israel. I had said more than once that it was probably only a matter of time before America itself became the target of a major attack.

I had no idea that time would come on a beautiful Tuesday morning in September.

At 9:00 a.m. on September 11, 2001, I was conducting a policy staff meeting at Family Research Council’s media center in Washington, D.C. I was FRC’s vice president for Policy and had become a well-established media voice on national security and foreign affairs.

Shortly after our meeting began, then-FRC Vice President Doug Werk entered with startling news: an airliner had struck one of the World Trade Center towers.

None of us understood what that meant. Minutes later, I heard a distant explosion. Soon sirens filled Washington. Word followed that the Pentagon had been struck.

The United States was under attack.

I dismissed my staff and hurried upstairs, where television revealed the enormity of what was unfolding. We watched aircraft plunge into the towers and saw smoke rising from the Pentagon a few miles away. People poured into the streets as offices across Washington released their employees. No one knew whether the four hijacked airplanes were the entirety of the assault or merely the opening blows of something larger. That uncertainty is hard to convey to those who did not live that morning. We know the history now. We did not know it then.

I remained in my office. Because I had spent years writing and speaking about terrorism, media organizations began calling. Interview followed interview. By the end of the day, I had conducted 31 media interviews, including three appearances on Fox News extending late into the evening.

Eventually I headed home before returning that night. What I saw on the drive remains etched in memory. Interstate 395, normally choked with rush-hour traffic at 5:30 in the afternoon, was virtually empty. As we passed the Pentagon, the building was still burning. I had spent the day explaining terrorism to others, but nothing I said on television could capture the sight of the wounded Pentagon against the evening sky.

And 9/11 did not end for me that night.

In 2002, after nine years at FRC, I returned to full-time work at the Pentagon with the Department of the Army, where I saw firsthand the opening years of what became decades of conflict with jihadist terrorist organizations. My subsequent work took me into war zones and close to many of the national security consequences unleashed that September morning.

The physical reminders were always nearby. I visited the Pentagon Memorial Chapel, built where American Airlines Flight 77 tore into the building, and frequently walked the adjacent Pentagon Memorial grounds, which honor the 184 people killed at the Pentagon and aboard Flight 77 that morning. I also visited and spoke at the Flight 93 crash site near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, where passengers and crew fought their hijackers before the aircraft went down in a field rather than reach its intended target. Twice I traveled to Guantánamo Bay, where the legal aftermath of America’s struggle with al-Qaeda remains visible even today; military-commission proceedings tied to the September 11 attacks continue a quarter-century later.

That history is why this year’s controversy surrounding New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s (D) participation in the 25th anniversary observances deserves careful treatment.

Mamdani’s chief counsel at City Hall is Ramzi Kassem. Before entering City Hall, Kassem spent years representing detainees held in the post-9/11 war on terrorism, among them Ahmed al-Darbi. Al-Darbi pleaded guilty in 2014 to war-crime charges tied to an al-Qaeda attack on the French oil tanker Limburg, and he was also the brother-in-law of Khalid al-Mihdhar, one of the hijackers aboard Flight 77.

That history has angered some 9/11 families. This week, relatives delivered a petition to City Hall asking Mamdani not to attend the Ground Zero ceremony; others have rejected efforts to exclude him, arguing the memorial should stay free of partisan conflict. Mamdani has said he intends to attend.

Fairness requires more. Representing a defendant — even one convicted of terrorism — is not the same as endorsing his ideology or crimes. Kassem has said that on September 11, 2001, he was a law student in New York who tried to locate friends at the World Trade Center, donated blood, and volunteered with the Red Cross helping callers seeking relatives. Mamdani, for his part, has signed executive orders establishing September 11 as a New York City Day of Remembrance and Service and strengthening the city’s emergency-continuity planning, calling for a citywide moment of silence honoring both those killed on September 11 and those who later died from illnesses tied to the attacks.

Those facts belong in the record too. But they do not erase the deeper question raised by this anniversary: What does it mean to remember?

For those of us who experienced September 11 firsthand, remembrance is not an abstraction.

I remember the warning from Europe. I remember Doug Werk walking into our meeting. I remember the distant explosion. I remember the sirens. I remember wondering whether more attacks were coming. I remember 31 interviews while Washington emptied around me. I remember an abandoned I-395. And I remember the Pentagon burning.

Then came the years afterward — the Pentagon chapel, the memorial, Shanksville, Guantánamo, war zones, fallen Americans, wounded warriors, and a struggle against terrorism that lasted far longer than anyone imagined that September morning.

The argument over who attends a memorial ceremony should never outweigh the people being remembered there. September 11 belongs first to the nearly 3,000 innocent people murdered, to their families, to the First Responders who ran toward danger, and to those who later sacrificed in defense of this country.

Public officials who enter those places of remembrance carry a special responsibility. They walk on ground made sacred by sacrifice and grief. Whatever their politics, they should approach it with humility.

Twenty-five years have passed. For some Americans, 9/11 has become history. For many of us, it remains memory. And there is a difference.

VIDEO: Staggering example of the current attempt at sabotage via anti-American anti-Trump propaganda by the Canadian communist apparatchiks

The Allison Enquiry has had us very very busy this week. We have managed to post one video so far, the interview with Dr. Charles Hoffe, recorded Tuesday, and published yesterday. But there is a lot more. For those who have not seen the entire Ron Johnson testimony, it is worth every second of the time it takes to watch it.

Meanwhile, here is a short clip of someone accurately assessing to a degree, the appearance of one of the WEF dialectical engineers and totaltiarian Covid measures bureaucrats lecturing Americans about their democracy.

If people did not yet think they had enough evidence to understand that the Canadian state is actively sabotaging Canada US relations, and not in any kind of good faith negotiations with them, this should seal the deal. Add to that the new Canadian-Chinese military cooperation arrangements for which, a Defence Official was fired for objecting to it, and curiously the denial of stage to a Chinese acrobatic dance troop which has performed every year for many years now in Ottawa’s National Arts Centre, and you get a pattern. Chinese control over Canada is now so strong that they can decide who gets to appear on our stages.

We can also take as a datapoint the CBC write up of this as evidence, since CBC framed it as ‘abuse of the actors and performers in the troop’ as the reason not to grant them an audience. Which sounds a lot like CCP propaganda. Global News to their credit wrote it up somewhat more objectively.

EXCLUSIVE: Noncitizen Arrested After Voting In 2024 Presidential Election

The Trump administration arrested an illegal alien in September who allegedly voted in the 2024 presidential election, the Daily Caller learned.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) officers arrested Mariana Alexandra Dewey, a citizen of Peru, on Sept. 1 for illegally misrepresenting herself as a legal U.S. citizen while voting in the 2024 general election in Kansas, an official shared with the Caller.

Dewey has been charged with one count of false claim of citizenship, one count of false claim of United States citizenship in order to vote, one count of fraudulent election conduct, and one count of voting by an alien in a federal election, the Caller learned.

The Caller obtained photos of Dewey’s arrest.

“The Department of Justice remains committed to protecting election integrity and is actively investigating and prosecuting these cases,” U.S. Attorney Ryan A. Kriegshauser said in a statement obtained by the Caller.

“With another election looming, the Department’s effort serves as a stark reminder to individuals who are not legally authorized to vote not to engage in this conduct. Should individuals be determined by a court of law to have illegally claimed U.S. citizenship and voted or attempted to vote in federal elections, they will face serious criminal consequences,” he added.

Dewey was contacted by an investigator in April after she had moved addresses and had initially told the officer she was a U.S. citizen, the Caller learned.

She later clarified she was actually not an American citizen, but was a lawful permanent resident, according to information shared with the Caller. She also allegedly confirmed on the call with investigators that she voted in the 2024 General Election. Authorities also obtained a provisional pollbook at the Hope Church polling location and submitted a Kansas Voter Registration Application, the Caller learned. Both allegedly included statements from Dewey confirming she was a U.S. citizen.

“Despite extreme Democrats and the media claiming it never happens, the evidence of non-citizens registering and voting in our elections continues to pile up,” Lauren Bis, White House Spokeswoman, told the Caller.

“Any non-citizens registering to vote in our elections continues to pile up. Any non-citizens found registering and voting in our elections will be arrested and held accountable. Only Americans should be electing American leaders,” she added.

The administration has made numerous arrests for similar charges across the country. In July, federal authorities arrested and charged an illegal alien in New Jersey for voting in a federal election, the Caller learned first. While a number of academic studies have found that such cases are uncommon, others have shown that illegal votes can still make an impact in local and some state-level elections.

For months, President Donald Trump has pushed Congressional Republicans to pass the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE America) Act, which would require proof of American citizenship to register to vote and photo identification to vote in federal elections. The legislation has stalled and remains in limbo.

Speaker Mike Johnson told Fox News on Sunday that House Republicans could put the SAVE America Act into a reconciliation bill.

“This time we’re going to try to put it on a reconciliation bill, and the reason that’s so important, Maria [Bartiromo], as you know, is it prevents the necessity of 60 votes in the Senate,” Johnson said. “The Democrats want no part of this, and remember, this is very basic stuff.”

“We’re just going to make sure you have to have proof of citizenship to register to vote and then show an ID when you turn out at the ballot box,” he added. “These are 90-10 public opinion issues, and more than 70 percent of Democrats want to do it, but not the Democrats in the House and Senate, and so we’ve got to go around them.”

Trump Admin Preparing Plan to Boost Nuclear Families by Paying Stay-at-Home Moms: Report

25 Years After 9/11, Have We Finally Realized What We’re Fighting?

I was born two years before Sept. 11, 2001. I belong to the first generation of Americans for whom the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon are not a personal memory. Because I do not remember the morning itself, the television images, or the atmosphere of fear and uncertainty that settled over the country, I know Sept. 11 as history.

But the history myself and those of my generation inherited did not end on that day. In some respects, it had only begun.

Twenty-five years after 9/11, the face of Islamic violence looks like a truck driven into a crowded street, a knife attack on a train, and a church attacked and burned. It has meant the consequential transformation of our nation through migration, parallel communities, Sharia courts, and the growing political influence of Islamist movements. Globally, it has meant the rise of the ISIS caliphate, the Oct. 7 attacks by Hamas, and the massacre of innocent people worldwide.

On this anniversary, there is a great deal to reflect upon, including the assumption that the principal problem that led to planes flying into buildings was terrorism rather than the ideology that produces it.

If we have learned anything since, it should be that this assumption is dead wrong.

Islam is both a political and religious ideology, and jihadism is one violent manifestation of that ideology, as well as a command to its adherents.

Immediately after the 9/11 attacks occurred in his address to the nation, President George W. Bush reduced the problem to terrorism. And though the United States has since developed an impressive capacity to disrupt terrorist plots, we have become increasingly reluctant to examine the broader political and civilizational claims of the ideology from which those plots emerge.

Six days after the attacks, on Sept. 17, 2001, Bush visited the Islamic Center of Washington and declared, “The face of terror is not the true faith of Islam. That’s not what Islam is all about. Islam is peace.”

This became shorthand for a much broader proposition: that Islam itself had essentially no bearing on the terror inflicted on our country.

One of the best pieces of evidence for the opposite of what Bush stated at the time can be found in Osama bin Laden’s “Letter to America,” which explicitly answers the question of why behind the attacks. There is no mistaking the way they view American foreign policy as bound up with anti-Islamic ideology. It also answers the question, “What are we calling you to, and what do we want from you,” saying, “the first thing that we are calling you to is Islam.”

Fifteen years after the 2001 attacks, the ISIS propaganda magazine Dabiq published an article titled “Why We Hate You and Why We Fight You.”

ISIS, which grew out of al-Qaeda, explicitly rejected the proposition that jihadist hostility toward the West was primarily a response to American foreign policy. It vividly defined disbelief in Islam as the primary reason for its hatred of Westerners and argued that this hatred would persist even if Western military intervention ceased:

“We hate you, first and foremost, because you are disbelievers; you reject the oneness of Allah … and you indulge in all manner of devilish practices. … Furthermore, just as your disbelief is the primary reason we hate you, your disbelief is the primary reason we fight you, as we have been commanded to fight the disbelievers until they submit to the authority of Islam, either by becoming Muslims, or by … living in humiliation under the rule of the Muslims. … We hate you because your secular, liberal societies permit the very things that Allah has prohibited …

“[W]e’ve made it our mission to fight off your influence and protect mankind from your misguided concepts and your deviant way of life. … What’s important to understand here is that although some might argue that your foreign policies are the extent of what drives our hatred, this particular reason for hating you is secondary … The fact is, even if you were to stop bombing us, imprisoning us, torturing us, vilifying us, and usurping our lands, we would continue to hate you because our primary reason for hating you will not cease to exist until you embrace Islam.”

Subsequent issues of Dabiq were titled “A Call to Hijrah,” referring to spreading jihad with immigration, and “The Failed Crusade,” declaring that the Islamic state would one day conquer Rome, threatening to “break [the] crosses” of infidels and sell and trade their women and to establish an Islamic state over the whole world.”

In the words of Islamists themselves, the conventional formulation that they simply hate our freedoms, as Bush stated in his address to the nation directly after the attacks, is incomplete.

Since 9/11, despite increasing evidence for the incompatibility of the Islamic worldview with Christian, Western society, Americans have been increasingly pressured to demonstrate tolerance by suspending judgment and adhering to lofty, feel-good sentiments that all regions are equal.

One decade after the height of the ISIS caliphate and its publication of “Why we Hate You,” the limitations of the post-9/11 framework have become even clearer.

There have still been tragic terror attacks where Islam is minimized or omitted from public discussion. At the same time, large-scale immigration from Muslim-majority countries has contributed to a major breakdown in social cohesion and safety: the prioritization of mosques over churches, parallel societies that natives do not risk entering, infiltration of Islamic propaganda in curricula, and avowed Islamists elected to public office.

Battling and reversing these changes will not be successful without a real recognition of what we are up against, which hinges ultimately on ideology.

The great irony of the post-9/11 period is that America’s leadership simultaneously overestimated and underestimated the threat.

We overestimated what could be accomplished through military intervention and nation-building in societies whose political traditions were profoundly different from our own. At the same time, we underestimated the ideological dimension of the conflict by treating jihadism principally as a security problem. Differently said, we spent considerably less intellectual energy understanding the foreign ideology behind terrorism.

Twenty-five years later, the central lesson should be that terrorism was one manifestation of a much larger ideological challenge.

The larger question looms of whether Islamist political movements will continue to gain influence within Western societies. If we ignore those who have spent decades telling us why they hate us, what they oppose, and what they intend to build in its place, it is very likely they will.

We publish a variety of perspectives. Nothing written here is to be construed as representing the views of the Daily Signal.

PERKINS: The Promise of Socialism Is Misery for All

Earlier this week, the House of Representatives voted 220-192 to approve a resolution condemning socialism. Only eight Democrats joined the Republicans in voting for the measure.

The resolution read in part:

“Whereas socialist ideology necessitates a concentration of power that has, time and time again, collapsed into communist regimes, totalitarian rule, and repressive dictatorships…[Socialism] has repeatedly led to famine and mass murders, and the killing of over 100,000,000 people worldwide;”

It then turns to the rise of Democratic Socialists of America, and the DSA policy positions such as voting by noncitizens and incarcerated criminals, abolishing the U.S. Senate, and replacing the two-party system. It then denounces socialism in all its forms, declaring it incompatible with American values and the Constitution.

Is this a solution in search of a problem? Hardly.

According to the Brookings Institution, 282 candidates ran with some level of DSA endorsement in the 2026 election cycle; so far, 123 have won their primaries.

The rise in socialist candidates comes as a generation that never saw the Iron Curtain increasingly sees socialism as nothing more than a government-provided safety net. But history warns that when government becomes powerful enough to guarantee equality, the safety net can become a net from which there is no escape.

I remember when Americans didn’t have to debate whether socialism worked. We watched people escape from it.

In 1989, when the Berlin Wall fell, I was working with the U.S. Department of State managing one of its Anti-Terrorism Assistance Program sites. Within months of the fall of the wall, we began training police officers and other security officials in the United States from former Eastern Bloc countries. I vividly recall greeting one of the groups and taking them to the grocery store on the way to the dormitories where they would be staying.

When they entered the Albertsons, they froze. Some of them began to cry, and I asked the interpreter what was wrong. He said they had never seen so much in one place, and they asked who was allowed to come into the store. I said whoever wanted to, but that there were stores like this all over. They said they had been told Americans were living just like them, waiting hours each day for a loaf of bread or whatever was available.

Totalitarian systems don’t merely control economic production; eventually they must control information, because people inevitably begin asking why the promised equality has produced scarcity.

To many young Americans, socialism doesn’t mean empty shelves, bread lines, government propaganda, and repression. It means Social Security, socialized medicine, free college, and a bigger safety net. But for the government to have the economic power to provide so-called “free stuff,” it must possess the coercive power and authority to impose the promised economic outcomes. History shows that the equality socialism ultimately provides is equality of misery.

Thirty-seven years ago, people who had lived under socialism came to America and wept when they saw an ordinary grocery store. Today, a generation with no memory of the repression behind the Iron Curtain increasingly votes for candidates promising socialism.

The problem isn’t that socialism has changed. The problem is we’ve forgotten what socialism is and where it leads.

Every Muslim in Congress Demands America Pay Reparations to Muslims for 9/11

Yes, you read that right. Last September 11, every Muslim in Congress and some of their radical allies teamed up on a congressional resolution demanding reparations to Muslims for their suffering after 9/11.

First off, there was no suffering. On the contrary, the knee jerk reaction to the worst Islamic attack on American soil was to obscure and dissemble any talk of the motive of the Muslim terrorists.

Not a week after 9/11, George W. Bush assembled the from America’s worst terror tied groups to declare Islam is a religion of peace. at DC mosque, including Dr. Yahya Basha, president of the American Muslim Council, an organization whose leaders have repeatedly called Hamas “freedom fighters” (photo above.)  Also in attendance was Salam Al-Marayati, executive director of the Muslim Public Affairs Council, who on the afternoon of September 11 told a Los Angeles public radio audience that “we should put the State of Israel on the suspect list.” And sitting right next to President Bush was Muzammil Siddiqi, president of the Islamic Society of North America, who last fall told a Washington crowd chanting pro-Hezbollah slogans, “America has to learn if you remain on the side of injustice, the wrath of God will come.”

CAIR founder Nihad Awad, who appeared with Bush at the Washington Islamic Center, has argued that “[t]here is ample evidence indicating that both the Mossad and the Egyptian Intelligence played a role in the [1993 World Trade Center] explosion.” Awad rejects Israel’s right to exist and said that Israel and Egypt played a part in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing

Imagine, our dead were still rotting on the streets of NY, DC and Pennsylvania, and the President were meeting at a mosque to declare Islam is peace and now they want reparations for jihad terror.

Every Muslim in Congress Demanded America Pay Reparations to Muslims for 9/11

Money could have gone to unindicted terror funding co-conspirators

By: Daniel Greenfield, Sep 06, 2026

Last September 11, every Muslim in Congress and some of their radical allies teamed up on a congressional resolution demanding reparations to Muslims for their suffering after 9/11.

House Resolution 741, introduced a week after the anniversary of September 11, claimed that “in the aftermath of September 11, 2001” Muslims “experienced hate and were targeted by the government” and called for “various forms of relief to support those affected.”

The money would have potentially gone to Islamic groups listed as terror co-conspirators.

While the resolution did not specify which “community-based organizations” that “center the experiences and demands of Arab, Muslim, Middle Eastern” and others would have benefited from Congress “allocating resources”, potentially millions of dollars, the official endorsees of the resolution included the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) which was named as an unindicted co-conspirator in an Islamic terrorist funding trial raising the possibility of these 9/11 ‘reparations’ going not just to Islamic groups, but even to those linked to Islamic terrorism.

Other Islamic groups that endorsed and could have potentially benefited from the ‘9/11 Muslim reparations bill’ including Muslim Advocates, the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC), Muslims for Just Futures and the Muslim Justice League had their own ties to unindicted co-conspirators in terror funding. These include CAIR and the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) where key figures had championed violence and whose former officials included an unindicted coconspirator in the World Trade Center bombing as its former vice president raising the troubling possibility that ‘9/11 reparations’ money could have benefited advocates and organizations tied not only to Islamic terrorism but even to the original WTC attack which had been carried out by the nephew of the mastermind of the September 11 attacks.

The four Muslims in Congress at the time had joined forces to equate the Americans killed in the 9/11 attacks with the Muslims, including Al Qaeda terrorists, they claimed had suffered at the hands of the United States of America. The congressional resolution complained about “overreaching policing, surveillance, and criminalization policies”, “discriminatory searches and seizures of Arab, Muslim, Middle Eastern” and others, as well as “torture at Guantanamo Bay to extrajudicial drone strikes” against Al Qaeda members.

While the Muslim reparations resolution claimed that innocent Muslims were wrongly targeted, the text of the resolution included Al Qaeda terrorists and made no distinction between them.

Beyond “resources”, the resolution also called for dismantling counterterrorism measures, both private and public, arguing that “Joint Terrorism Task Forces Preemptive Prosecutions, Countering Violent Extremism Programs, Suspicious Activity Reporting, Watchlists” continue to “profile and unfairly target Arab, Muslim, Middle Eastern” and others, and called for an “independent commission to work with community-based organizations to review these government policies, investigate and document their impact, and provide recommendations to dismantle those policies.”

These “community-based organizations” could potentially have included unindicted terrorism co-conspirators and Islamic organizations that partnered with terror-linked groups and who would be put in charge of dismantling counterterrorism measures and asked to “create alternatives to law enforcement” which would have meant applying police defunding to national security defenses against terrorism.

Finally, much as studies were conducted on the health of police officers and firefighters who were at Ground Zero, the resolution called for the National Institutes of Health to study the ”impact of hate, government targeting, political rhetoric, and profiling” on the health of Muslims as if they had been breathing ash, instead of complaining about negative media coverage.

The insulting premise of the resolution that Muslims suffered after 9/11 and deserved reparations was based on a series of lies. The Muslim 9/11 reparations resolution claimed that “Waqar Hasan in Dallas, Texas, and Adel Karas in San Gabriel, California, were killed on September 15, 2001” as evidence of some large American campaign of hate against Muslims.

Adel Karas, a Christian, and Waqar Hasan were killed in attacks by criminals on stores.

Muslims insisted that the Karas murder was Islamophobic because his store was a block away from a mosque. In reality, Karas was a Coptic Christian who had fled Egypt because of the Muslim persecution of Christians. Homicide detectives believed that the storeowner had been targeted in an extortion attempt and identified the killers as Latino gang members who had previously threatened him. Despite that, the murdered Christian store owner’s name continues to be falsely listed as evidence of an American “climate of hate” after September 11.

Hasan was one of two store personnel, one Muslim and one Hindu, killed in a series of armed robberies in Texas. Mark Stroman, who committed his first armed robbery at only twelve years old, had an extensive criminal record and had ordered a Hindu man working the counter to “open the register or I’ll kill you”. The case became famous because Stroman, a career criminal, mistakenly thought the authorities would let him get away with it by claiming that he had done it out of “patriotism” and to avenge his imaginary sister who died in the World Trade Center.

In reality, there was never any sister and Stroman wasn’t a racist Neo-Nazi: his wife was actually Hispanic. Despite that, the media, activists, and politicians spent the next 10 years helping Stroman keep the lie alive. A documentary was filmed about Stroman getting over his racism and the media covered the campaign by one of the Muslim clerks whom he shot, but who survived, to forgive him and spare him the death penalty. Skeptics wondered whether this was because Stroman was more useful while alive. The propaganda campaign went on with Supreme Court appeals and press interviews until the serial robber was finally executed.

If there really were a campaign of violence targeting Muslims after 9/11, lies like these wouldn’t have been necessary. The victimhood narrative peddled by Islamic groups, some of whom continue to support Islamic terrorism, is out to erase the horrific crimes carried out by Muslim terrorists against Americans on September 11 by claiming that Muslims were the real victims.

Americans deserve reparations and apologies for the crimes committed against them by Islamic terrorists whose motivations were derived from the Koran and from Islamic law, and which were backed and enabled by Muslim governments including Pakistan, Afghanistan, Qatar and Iran.

Instead of offering an apology or a statement of heartfelt contrition for the 9/11 attacks, Muslim members of Congress arrogantly demanded reparations from Americans for September 11.

The congressional resolution supported last year by every Muslim in Congress spat in the faces of every American who was murdered on September 11 and did it on the anniversary of their murders while arguing that the real victims of 9/11 were the terrorists locked up in Gitmo.

What will they do this year?

Here’s How Many Noncitizens Trump DOJ Has Charged in Election Fraud Cases

In less than two years, federal prosecutors in the Trump administration charged about four times as many noncitizens with election fraud crimes as the Biden administration’s Justice Department in the entirety of the four-year term.

Since President Donald Trump took office for his second term, charges have been brought against 50 noncitizen defendants for alleged offenses such as illegally voting or illegally registering to vote, according to the Justice Department.

Also, during this Trump term, 17 noncitizens were convicted of voting-related offenses. One defendant was found not guilty, while the remaining defendants’ cases are pending, according to Justice Department figures.

During the four years of the Biden administration under Attorney General Merrick Garland, the Justice Department brought charges against 13 noncitizens for illegal voting-related offenses. Of those, nine defendants were found guilty, including two whose voter fraud charges were dismissed as part of plea agreements.

“The contrast with the prior administration could not be clearer — this department is enforcing the law against noncitizen voting in ways the last administration simply refused to,” a Justice Department spokesperson told the Daily Signal. “Protecting the integrity of our elections is a top priority for this Department.”

Trump has advocated for Congress to pass the SAVE America Act, which requires photo ID to vote and proof of citizenship to register to vote. Though prospects for the bill’s passage look dim before Election Day, its supporters point to the prosecutions as evidence of the need for additional safeguards.

If annualized over four years, Trump’s second-term Justice Department has brought almost 10 times as many charges as the Biden Justice Department. That means, at the current pace, it amounts to about 31 defendants per year under Trump, compared with 3.25 per year under Biden.

“These are illegal votes that are cast and counted, and once they’re counted, they can’t be uncounted,” Cleta Mitchell, the co-founder of the Only Citizens Vote Coalition, told the Daily Signal.

“First the Left says this never happens, noncitizens never vote. Then you say, ‘Look at this,’” Mitchell added. “Then they come back to say, well, it’s not widespread. How many illegal votes are OK with you? We want to make sure there are no illegal votes cast.”

To demonstrate the impact a single vote—or a single illegal vote—could have on an election, the Public Interest Legal Foundation established a database showing 1,376 tied elections and 531 contests decided by a single vote since 1982.

A majority of the Justice Department charges and convictions in this area came since October, or the start of fiscal year 2026, with 29 defendants. In that time, there were 11 convictions.

In most cases, defendants in both administrations were charged with multiple crimes.

For example, in December 2021, during the Biden era, the Eastern District of North Carolina announced an indictment against a Bahamian citizen on 10 counts, including voting in elections from 2018 through 2020; falsely claiming U.S. citizenship to register to vote; passport fraud; and false statements.

In September 2024, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Alabama charged an illegal immigrant from Guatemala with using a U.S. citizen’s identity, registering to vote, and voting in Alabama in the 2016 and 2020 primary and general elections. She pleaded guilty on Jan. 15, 2025, days before Trump’s inauguration.

Meanwhile, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida garnered guilty pleas from a Cuban national in September 2025, a Haitian national convicted in April of this year, and a Brazilian national in May for illegal voting.

In May 2026, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of New Jersey announced four separate noncitizen voting prosecutions. In June, the office announced that a French citizen pleaded guilty to voting in the 2022 election.

The Justice Department has received assistance in several cases from Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Homeland Security Investigations, the law enforcement wing of the Department of Homeland Security.

“Our message to aliens who vote in American elections is clear: We will find you, arrest you, and you will face the consequences—including criminal charges and deportation,” the Department of Homeland Security spokesman told the Daily Signal in an email.

Homeland Security Investigations began focusing this week on California, Connecticut, Georgia, Missouri, Nevada, New York, Pennsylvania, Washington state, and Wisconsin, CNN reported.

“Since April 2025, more than 24,000 cases have been identified by SAVE as potential non-U.S. citizens who were on voter rolls, and those cases have been referred to ICE’s Homeland Security Investigations for further investigation,” the Department of Homeland Security spokesman said.

“Over the past year, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services has overhauled the SAVE program, making it fully operational and providing states with an easy-to-use tool that has resulted in over 60 million voter verification queries processed since April 2025,” the Department of Homeland Security spokesman added.
