For years, many Americans have believed socialism had been relegated to the history books.

Not anymore.

Today, democratic socialism is experiencing a resurgence in American politics and culture. Its advocates promise fairness, security, and prosperity. Yet history tells a very different story.

Every nation that has embraced Marxist ideas has seen government grow more powerful while individual liberty and economic freedom steadily diminish. Too often, socialism becomes the gateway to something even darker…communism. [Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation]

Good Night, Patriots! And stop the DSA. One just won in Florida!

Russia now helping Iran

Russia Reportedly Resupplying Iran as US-Russia Tensions Persist

Russia is reportedly shipping drone components, ammunition, and explosives to Iran to help Tehran replenish military stockpiles damaged by U.S. and Israeli strikes, according to NBC News.

NBC News reported Tuesday that the shipments are traveling across the Caspian Sea to Iran's Amirabad port, citing a document from a European government that the network said was verified by a Western official.

More than two dozen Russian vessels have reportedly transported the materials, with many of the ships operating under U.S. or European sanctions, according to NBC.

The reported shipments include drone components, small-arms ammunition and TNT, which NBC said is used in Iranian ballistic missile warheads and drones.

Swalwell and Fang Fang - FBI memos lay out a scheme trading internships for donations

Declassified FBI files reveal suspected Chinese spy solicited illegal donations for Swalwell's campaign

Newly declassified FBI documents show a suspected Chinese intelligence operative solicited illegal campaign contributions for then-Rep. Eric Swalwell, and the case was dropped for "national security reasons" without a single charge filed.

The White House released the files Monday, pulling back the curtain on a three-year FBI undercover operation codenamed "Freshman Fifteen" that targeted the California Democrat and a woman named Fang Fang, also known as Christine Fang. The documents detail a web of straw donations from foreign nationals, cash smuggling, destroyed records, and false statements, all tied to a woman whose parents the FBI identified as "known intelligence officers" in China's Ministry of State Security.

Swalwell, 45, resigned from Congress in April and did not respond to requests for comment on the disclosures. His attorney dismissed the release as a political hit job. But the FBI's own memos, dated June 2014 and May 2017, paint a picture of a sitting congressman whose office was penetrated by a foreign operative, and a federal government that chose to look the other way rather than prosecute. The New York Post reported on the declassified files in detail.

The probe began with a tip: internships in Swalwell's congressional office were being traded for campaign contributions. An FBI memo dated June 10, 2014, described the arrangement plainly.

Federal District Courts no longer can block TPS Terminations

The Obama Judge Who Blocked Somalia Deportations Just Reversed Herself and Handed Donald Trump a Win

The Same Judge Who Blocked Trump Just Cleared His Path...She was the wall.

Then the Supreme Court handed down Mullin v. Doe on June 25 – a 6-3 ruling along conservative lines that stripped federal district courts of their power to block TPS terminations based on non-constitutional claims.

Burroughs wrote that she was "bound … to view things through the Mullin prism," referring to the Supreme Court case.

"Plaintiffs have made a convincing showing that they will suffer irreparable harm if the injunction is withheld … and the balance of hardships and the public interest also favor Plaintiffs, given that the government has made no showing that maintaining TPS status for the duration of this litigation would impose an undue burden," she wrote.

Burroughs lifted her own stay.

Somalia's TPS designation is now officially terminated – effective August 14, 2026 – after 35 years of protections that were supposed to be temporary.

Work permits previously issued to Somali TPS holders are now void.

Ted Cruz speaks out on El-Sayed and Muslim Brotherhood

Islamic Communist Abdul El-Sayed Set To Keynote Islamic Society Of North America’s 2026 Convention

This is despite The Group’s Ties To A Hamas Financing Case

ISNA's Questionable Ties Raise Questions About El-Sayed's Speaking Appearance

The convention’s own website lists El-Sayed as a keynote speaker alongside Dearborn Mayor Abdullah Hammoud, Cenk Uygur, and Dalia Mogahed. The Islamic Society of North America has a documented history connected to the 2008 Holy Land Foundation terrorism-financing trial and a connection to the Muslim Brotherhood.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) made explosive claims during a Senate Judiciary Subcommittee hearing examining the alleged influence of the Muslim Brotherhood network in the United States.

During his remarks, Cruz argued that 'behind El-Sayed's political rise sits a much older and more entrenched institutional network,' raising questions about what he described as the broader influence of organizations allegedly linked to the Muslim Brotherhood.

Tohono O'odham, Native American Tribe, loses border wall argument

Federal judge clears way for Arizona border wall after tribe's bid to block construction fails

A federal judge denied the Tohono O'odham Nation's attempt to halt border wall construction along 62 miles of its Arizona reservation, ruling that national security interests outweigh the tribe's claims of harm. The Nation consists of 2.8 million acres.

U.S. District Judge Richard J. Leon rejected the tribe's request for a preliminary injunction, a court order that would have stopped the Trump administration from building on or near the reservation's southern boundary with Mexico.

The ruling allows federal contractors to move forward on a stretch of border that has long lacked a physical barrier, cutting through the Sonoran Desert along one of the most remote corridors on the entire U.S.-Mexico line. Fox News Digital reported that Judge Leon grounded his decision in a 1907 presidential proclamation and the timeline of the reservation's own creation.

The tribe, which has more than 37,000 members, thousands of whom live on the Mexican side of the border, argued the wall would damage sacred sites, disrupt religious rituals, and sever family ties between communities split by the international boundary. Judge Leon was not persuaded. A 1907 proclamation settled the legal question before it started--

Judge Leon's reasoning turned on a fact of chronology. In 1907, President Theodore Roosevelt issued a proclamation placing all public land within 60 feet of an international boundary under exclusive federal government control. Roosevelt's stated purpose: "a protection against the smuggling of goods between the United States and the Republic of Mexico."

The Tohono O'odham (meaning desert people) reservation was not officially established until 1917, a full decade after Roosevelt's order. Leon cited that sequence directly, concluding that the federal government's claim to the border strip predated the reservation itself.

Low turnout in today's Primary Election

Byron Donalds (REP) is winning his primary for Florida governor with 59.15% and 23,326 votes. Not all votes have been counted yet.

John Thune is the Republican Senate’s friction point.

Trump changed the electorate. McConnell shaped the Senate. Thune now protects the institution that keeps slowing the America First agenda.

The problem is philosophical. Thune supports conservative policies, but he still treats Senate procedure, continuity, and institutional preservation as sacred goods.

MAGA voters elected Trump to change Washington, not manage it with better manners. If Thune cannot dance the MAGA dance, he should be replaced by someone who understands the mandate. [Richard Luthmann]

Thomas Sowell on The Rubin Report



Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” talks to Thomas Sowell about his remarkable journey from growing up in Harlem to becoming one of America’s most influential economists.
  • Discusses why he was once a Marxist and the facts that ultimately changed his mind
  • how his experience at the U.S. Department of Labor taught him that government agencies have incentives of their own
  • why minimum wage laws can hurt the very people they are intended to help
  • the danger of judging policies by their intentions rather than their actual results
  • why universities increasingly shut out opposing viewpoints
  • the difference between racial disparities and discrimination
  • how age, culture, economics, and other factors can explain inequality
  • why competitive free markets can reduce discrimination
  • what’s gone wrong with America’s public schools
  • why he believes the media are often misinformed and fail to check basic facts

Prescription Drug Prices

Donald Trump Just Delivered the Biggest Drug Price Drop Since Before the Beatles Existed

Americans paid more for prescription drugs each year that Barack Obama was president. The government just released new numbers that every network is scrambling to explain away. The Left spent years telling you drug companies were untouchable. They were wrong.

In May 2025, Trump signed an Executive Order demanding Most-Favored-Nation pricing – meaning Americans would pay no more for a pill than the lowest price any developed nation pays for that identical drug.

Democrats called it a fantasy. Trump called it a promise.Then he started collecting signatures. Pfizer signed in September 2025. AstraZeneca signed in October. Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk – the two companies that control the most expensive drugs in America – signed in November, slashing Ozempic from $1,000 a month to $350 and Wegovy from $1,350 a month to $350.

Biden's IRA negotiations covered a handful of Medicare drugs and moved slowly through a bureaucratic process. Trump's MFN executive order went directly at the pharmaceutical companies themselves and forced public commitments within months.

Your grandfather paid less for his heart medication last month than he did last year. That is a real thing that happened because one president decided American patients deserved the same deal every other country already had.

In February 2026, TrumpRx.gov was live – a direct platform letting Americans buy medicines at MFN prices without fighting their insurance company.

Digital Brands moves from California to Texas

Digital Brands Group Moves to Texas After CEO Says, “Doing business in the state of California sucks.”

Digital Brands Group is leaving California and moving its headquarters to Round Rock, Texas. CEO Hil Davis offered a blunt explanation for the decision.
Davis told Fox News Digital, “Doing business in the state of California sucks.”
The Round Rock Chamber announced the relocation in a press release, describing it as a major economic development win for the city.

“Founded in California and known for its innovative approach to blending apparel brands with e-commerce technology and data-driven consumer solutions, Digital Brands Group’s relocation marks a significant win for economic development in Round Rock.”

The chamber also pointed to Texas’ business climate and workforce as reasons companies are choosing the state.

So I ask, why not Florida? Actually, businesses are moving to Florida from California alongside Texas. Both states share major pro-business benefits like no state personal income tax, but Texas has captured more massive corporate headquarters (like Tesla, HP, and Chevron) due to distinct industrial and geographical advantages.

South Florida (Miami, Boca Raton, West Palm Beach) has seen an enormous influx of hedge funds, venture capitalists, and tech executives who prefer Florida's lifestyle and financial sector ecosystem over Texas's industrial footprint.

Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed's half-sister -- All in the family

El-Sayed's half sister is a Muslim Communist too

Democrats in swing states love a good family ad. Dad at the grill. Kids on the lawn. Maybe a golden retriever for good measure. The messaging is always warm, relatable, aggressively normal. It’s designed to make you forget that the candidate’s actual policy positions would make your head spin.

But here’s the thing about family ads — they’re curated. And sometimes the most telling detail isn’t who made the final cut. It’s who got edited out. In Michigan right now, a Democratic Senate candidate is running a slick campaign built on heartland imagery and kitchen-table promises. One very important family member, however, didn’t make the reel. Wonder why.

From The Post Millennial:

Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed’s half-sister is a far-left University of Chicago professor who has advocated for a “stateless, communized society,” called for abolishing police, was arrested during an anti-ICE protest for spitting on a cop, celebrated the October 7, 2023 massacre, and has called for a “student intifada.”

What makes this genuinely damaging for El-Sayed isn’t just his sister’s rap sheet. It’s how neatly her positions mirror his own.

How foreign governments handle U.S. Aid

67 Governments Fail US Transparency Test: New Release

The State Department’s annual review of how foreign governments handle public money found that most of those assessed cleared the bar and a large minority did not.

The report is the closest thing Washington has to a report card on where US aid dollars can actually be traced. What did it say?

State of play
The tally is stark. Of 139 governments and the Palestinian Authority, 73 met the minimum fiscal transparency standard and 67 did not. Of the 67 that fell short, 14 made significant progress toward the minimum over the past year. The review is broad. The assessment covers governments that receive US assistance, judging whether the public can see how that money is raised and spent.
By the numbers
The split is close. Of the 140 assessed, 73 cleared the bar and 67 fell short, a near-even divide. Most failers are stuck. Only 14 of the 67 are improving, leaving 53 that showed no significant progress toward the minimum.
Foreign aid is under the microscope. With the administration paring overseas spending, a failure of transparency is now a direct argument against writing the next check.

Transparency deters graft. Open books make it harder to divert funds, so the standard is a first line of defense against corruption in recipient states. It exposes where aid disappears.
