Whether it's wanting to abolish private property or wanting to seize the means of production, these are communist ideas right out of the playbook of Karl Marx," said Republican Rep. Nicole Malliotakis of New York to Fox News Digital. "He is a communist," responded Republican Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas.

Previously, from P.J. O’Rourke’s Parliament of Whores:

Not long after Andy [Ferguson] and I met, we were driving down Pennsylvania Avenue and encountered some or another noisy pinko demonstration.

“How come,” I asked Andy, “whenever something upsets the Left, you see immediate marches and parades and rallies with signs already printed and rhyming slogans already composed, whereas whenever something upsets the Right, you see two members of the Young Americans for Freedom waving a six-inch American flag?”

“We have jobs,” said Andy.

  • We still have jobs, but the Left finally pushed normies into activism. They had thought that was exclusively their turf. - 

Wherefore, Cincinnatus? A Tale of Staggering American Political Corruption. By Ward Clark

A little over 2,500 years ago, there lived a man named Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus...
Cincinnatus had retired to a farm, but when Rome called, he answered. He was appointed Dictator by the Roman Senate, giving him absolute power over the city - and the army. He oversaw a quick victory over the Aequi; the Roman historian Livy puts the time at sixteen days. With that done, Cincinnatus surrendered the dictatorship and went back to his farm.
Livy and other Roman scribes of the time held Cincinnatus up as a model of civic virtue, an example for any who would serve the republic...
  • We have no Cincinnatus among us today.
Earlier on Friday, my colleague Teri Christoph revealed to us a tale of corruption, of political malfeasance, maybe even treason, that one would think more Roman than American. 
But here we are. Teri writes:

Well, the Trump administration is getting in on the action with their own Friday afternoon document dump—and their dump also does not reflect well on Barack Obama and his administration. The documents in question are newly-declassified materials released by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard showing how deeply involved Obama and members of his administration were in helping to devise and perpetuate the Russia collusion hoax against Donald Trump.

A clearly-irate Gabbard took to X Friday afternoon to detail what was found in the documents—i.e., Obama & co. made the whole thing up—and what she plans to do with the information.

  • If you haven't yet read Teri's account of this disaster, do so.
  • Make sure you're sitting down, and I'd recommend a good stiff belt at your elbow; you're going to need it...

No Evidence of Harm? A “Garbage In, Garbage Out” Analysis of the Aluminum Vaccine Study

The dataset is massive, but if the inputs are poorly contrasted and confounded, then your statistical power just lets you confidently detect nothing — which is exactly what happened. - manu
A new observational study led by Prof. Anders Hviid – and promoted heavily by Prof. Jeffrey S. Morris – claims to find “no evidence of harm” from aluminum-containing vaccines in children. 
The dataset includes over 1.2 million Danish children, a size that, on the surface, seems to scream reliability...
  • But dig a little deeper, and you’ll find a textbook case of how to spin noise into confidence. Let’s walk through it.

Taxpayers poised to save $9 billion as deadline looms for congressional recissions * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh

Taxpayers are poised to save $9 billion as a deadline looms for Congress to finalize a recissions package that will withdraw cash handouts for foreign interests as well as tax money being used for the leftist agenda pursued by PBS. The bill, adopted by the House first and now by the Senate, still requires House approval of Senate changes before it can go to President Donald Trump for his signature.

#1 This day 1977------Looks Like We Made It

MI state Board of Canvassers recently approved petition language for Ranked Choice Voting. Petitions will soon be circulation to put RCV on the 2026 election ballot.

City of Muskegon Election & Ranked Choice Voting
  • If passed, this will drastically change the way we vote.
  • Do NOT sign any petition for Ranked Choice Voting!
Rank Choice Voting is a very bad idea for Michigan and the following are some of the reasons why:
  • Complex and confusing process– RCV requires voters to rank candidates and triggers multiple elimination rounds. 
  • That complexity leads to more spoiled or uncounted ballots if you miss or mis-fill a ranking.
  • Voter ballot exhaustion– Many votes go uncounted if someone fails to rank every candidate. So your vote might never count at all...

'Taking your tax dollars and using them against you': House probes public money sent to left-wing groups * WorldNetDaily * by Fred Lucas, The Daily Signal

He noted the SEIU contributed $1.6 million to the liberal New Venture Fund and $1.8 million to the liberal grantmaker Tides Foundation. Meanwhile, he noted the AFL-CIO gave $410,000 to New Venture and $100,000 to Tides. "Not only did the SEIU and AFL-CIO send part of members' dues to support leftist causes, but they also benefit from a process known as 'official time,'" O'Neil said. "Federal employees can bill the taxpayer for time they spend not doing their jobs but doing work for the union. This creates yet another stream of taxpayer funds supporting unions that then back leftist causes."
