'You're anti-American': Left-wing Gov. Kathy Hochul openly demonizes NY residents who vote Republican



Left-wing New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) openly demonized residents of her state who vote Republican, calling them "anti-American" — among other things.

Hochul made her comments during a Saturday appearance on MSNBC to discuss the 2024 election with host Al Sharpton, Mediaite reported.

'Because you have just trashed American values and what our country is all about over and over and over.'

Sharpton asked the governor about House of Representative races in New York — as well as former President Donald Trump's recent New York City rally at Madison Square Garden during which a comedian made a controversial joke about Puerto Rico, the outlet said.

According to Mediaite, Hochul noted that one wouldn't think that leaders of "this great country" would "tolerate" such statements "at one of their rallies." Hochul then said she believes Trump's NYC rally "backfired on him," Mediate added.

The outlet also noted that she said she's "leading the effort in our state to ensure we flip these battleground seats."

Hochul then said the rally controversy helped her paint Republican candidates in her state as closely aligned with Trump — and those who vote for them as "anti-American":

"It gave me a chance to tie the Republicans running in these seats, the incumbents, closer to Donald Trump, and remind everybody, if you’re voting for these Republicans in New York, you are voting for someone who supports Donald Trump — and you’re anti-woman, you’re anti-abortion, and basically you’re anti-American," Hochul said. "Because you have just trashed American values and what our country is all about over and over and over."

Mediate said Sharpton didn't ask Hochul any follow-up questions after her attack on her own constituents.

In response to Hochul's remarks, U.S. Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) called Hochul the "worst governor in America." Stefanik devoted a longer post to Hochul's words here.

Speaking of being anti-American

While we're on the subject of anti-American behavior, let us not forget that the FBI in September announced that an agent working for the communist Chinese government infiltrated Hochul's office.

Linda Sun — who worked as deputy chief of staff for Hochul and deputy diversity officer for former Gov. Andrew Cuomo — was accused of money laundering conspiracy, violating the Foreign Agents Registration Act, and alien smuggling. Sun's husband, Chris Hu, also was arrested and charged with conspiracy to commit bank fraud, conspiracy to commit money laundering, and misuse by means of identification.

Tech legend DESTROYS Kamala’s plan to fight ‘price gouging’ as socialist policy that will result in BREADLINES



Kamala Harris’ plan to fight “price gouging” with price controls may be enough to fool low information voters, but it’s not fooling America’s best and brightest.

Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” is one of them, telling his audience “I don’t like her very much.”

Tech legend David Friedberg from the “All-In Podcast” is another one — and he has a warning for those who blindly believe what Harris is saying about the supposed “price gouging” taking place at the grocery store.

“I unequivocally hate socialism. Socialism destroys innovation, destroys productivity, and destroys individual liberties,” Friedberg said in response to her plan.

“The free market works in that everyone is always competing with each other, creating new productivity improvements, and as a result, over time, prices come down. Except when the government intervenes and gets involved,” he continued.

“I would argue that the real cause of price inflation in food is not the supposed price gouging by corporate players in the AG and food industry, all of whom are deeply competitive with one another, but rather is the result of the inflation associated with government spending and stimulus coming out of COVID.”

Friedberg then pointed out that the FED balance sheet from COVID until today has grown from 4.2 trillion to 7.2 trillion, which is a growth of 70%.

“The Federal Reserve went out and they bought assets and they issued debt to banks and introduced liquidity into the system,” he explained, noting that the result of this was that the M2 money supply increased from 15 trillion to 21 trillion since COVID, which is a 40% increase.

“So, now there is more money in the system, so the cost of everything should go up. Which is exactly what we’ve seen,” he said, before sending a warning.

“Every socialist experiment in human history has started with caps on food, and it has resulted in breadlines,” he said. “This is a mistake, it is a problem, it is anti-American, it is anti-free market, it is anti-innovation, it is anti-productivity, and ultimately, it’s anti-liberty, and I cannot stand it.”

'USA Day' axed at Massachusetts high school because the administration 'wanted to avoid politics'



A Massachusetts high school has determined that there is no room for patriotic verve in its annual spirit week.

Wellesley High School holds a spirit week ahead of its annual pep rally and Thanksgiving football game against Needham, which CBS News indicated is one of the oldest Thanksgiving public school football rivalries in the nation.

Each day of spirit week has a theme, and students dress up accordingly. The themes are conceived by the school's Student Unification Program and approved by the administration, reported WFXT-TV.

Themes this year included Throwback Thursday and Wild West Wednesday.

Olivia Spagnuolo, a member of the Student Unification Program, told WFXT that the group proposed a "USA Day" theme, but it was shut down.

"The administration was not going to let this happen," said Spagnuolo. "It wasn't a topic for discussion."

Spagnuolo indicated, "They said it was not allowed because it separated people at the school."

Wellesley Public Schools had no problem previously separating people, particularly on the basis of race.

WPS defended holding an event in 2021 for which a teacher circulated an email notifying prospective attendees, "This is a safe space for our Asian/Asian-American and Students of Color, *not* for students who identify only as White," reported the Boston Globe.

A Black Lives Matter flag is featured in photographs on the district's diversity, equity, and inclusion page. The placement of such identitarian flags outside classrooms is celebrated in the WPS Equity Strategic Plan.

Facing backlash to the axing of "USA Day," WHS Principal Jamie Chisum penned an apologetic letter to the community, saying, "The high school Administration decided not to go forward with that spirit theme because it felt really different than the other themes kids came up with for the week. We felt that the topic has been politicized beyond our school and we wanted to avoid politics."

"We've had Mismatch Monday, Tropical Tuesday, Western Wednesday, Team Jersey Thursday and today was Fitness Friday. Monday is Monochrome Monday and Tuesday is Pajama day," continued Chisum's letter. "Spirit Week is intended to be a light and fun way for our students to get excited about our pep rally and Thanksgiving Day football game."

"We acknowledge that the impact for some people has been just the opposite of our intention and that we have inadvertently politicized this activity. I am definitely sorry for any negative effect this has had on kids and families," added Chisum.

According to the WHS Student Unification Program, this is not the first time "USA Day" has been vetoed by the administration.

Fox News Digital indicated that Chisum did not respond to a request for comment.

"I think it's absurd," one parent told WFXT. "I think it's sad and depressing we're at this state that celebrating the United States is political."

"We came here to experience all of that, so I'm really shocked that's going on," said Michael, a parent who moved to the area from Australia. "We love the American dream, freedom, we're all for it. I want my daughter to experience the full thing."

WFXT reported that despite the cancellation, numerous students and parents ultimately turned up at school wearing red, white, and blue.

Mainstream media won’t show you this – Boston crowd shouts: 'Biggest threat in the world today – Israel and the USA!'



The mainstream media is becoming less and less reliable given its refusal to report straight facts, but luckily we’ve got the scoop for you – the real scoop.

Dave Rubin plays a recent clip that big news companies would never dare to air.

It documents a pro-Palestine rally in Boston, Massachusetts, but unlike other Hamas-supporters who chant about Israel, the radicals at this assembly are also chanting about America.

“The biggest threat in the world today: Israel and the USA!” the crowd roars.

“So when they try to isolate the Palestinian resistance and vilify it, what are we going to do? We’re gonna fight back, right?” yells one leader through a megaphone, as the crowd erupts in applause and chants of support.

“Did you catch what they were saying?” asks Dave. They are “coming for the rest of the West next,” and if you think “they will wrap it up and go home” if they successfully wipe out Israel, then you’re mistaken because “they will just start moving on.”

Customers want to give Ben & Jerry's the 'Bud Light' treatment for scorning America on Independence Day and telling it to return 'stolen indigenous land'



The woke ice cream company Ben & Jerry's accosted Americans celebrating the nation's 247th birthday online, telling them their country "exists on stolen Indigenous land" and to return it.

Patriots and other critics rejected the Vermont-headquartered company's recommended action plan and came up with a plan of their own: Give the confectioners the "Bud Light" treatment.

More sourness from the sweets company

In a July 4 social media post, Ben & Jerry's wrote, "This 4th of July, it's high time we recognize that the US exists on stolen Indigenous land and commit to returning it."

The corresponding action plan on the company's website claimed that "a good parade, some tasty barbecue, and a stirring fireworks display" in celebration of American independence from Great Britain were altogether problematic.

Instead of lauding the nation that gave so much to co-founders Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield and the company's current C-suite, Ben & Jerry's urged that the U.S. surrender Mount Rushmore to the Lakota Sioux.

The company reduced the personages carved into the rock — U.S. Presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and Theodore Roosevelt — to "colonizers, four white men—two of whom enslaved people and all of whom were hostile to Indigenous people and values. ... The faces on Mount Rushmore are the faces of men who actively worked to destroy Indigenous cultures and ways of life, to deny Indigenous people their basic rights."

According to Ben & Jerry's, to surrender vast swaths of American territory now would serve to help dismantle "white supremacy and systems of oppression."

This sour note from the sweets company is hardly the first put out in recent days and years.

The company recently bemoaned the Supreme Court's Dobbs decision — which restored state rights and the power of the people as it pertains to their ability to make regional decisions about whether or not to permit the legal slaughter of the unborn — calling on activists to fight abortion bans, even those imposed at 24 weeks.

The company, which a New York Times exposé revealed used child migrant labor to process milk, often in violation of labor laws, has also taken hard anti-Israel stances, forbidding the sale of its sugary sludge in territories belonging to the Jewish state.

Besides its anti-American, anti-Israeli, and pro-Palestinian activism and resistance to a "post-racial era," Ben & Jerry's has previously been called out for peddling lies, in particular about Kyle Rittenhouse. The ice cream brand suggested online in 2021 that the then-17-year-old who killed a violent pedophile and another radical in self-defense during a riot was a racist, incorrectly intimating his victims were black.

While Ben & Jerry's leftist activism has heretofore served to agitate, its attack on America on its birthday appeared to be the last straw for many.

Time for a 'Bud Light' treatment

Billboard Chris, the gender ideology critic whose real name is Chris Elston, tweeted in response to the company's anti-American post, "The only right thing to do is donate all of your assets and retained earnings. Shareholders will understand."

Musician Brad Skistimas of Five Times August suggested something similar, writing, "Sounds like it’s time for Ben and Jerry to donate 100% of their profits to indigenous people."

Angela McArdle, the current chair of the Libertarian National Committee, wrote, "I thought you sold ice cream. You want to evict all of your customers?"

"U stole the milk from cows to make ur ice cream checkmate," quipped Ashley St. Clair of the Babylon Bee.

Retired infantry colonel and Town Hall columnist Kurt Schlichter wrote, "My land acknowledgment is this: 'We won. Too bad.'"

Republican Sen. Mike Lee of Utah tweeted, "@BenandJerry’s are awfully smug and lippy for a sub-brand of the massive Anglo-Dutch conglomerate Unilever. I’m not sure they fully understand the legacy of the respective Dutch and British colonial powers."

— (@)

Lee went on to say, "Your once-good ice cream now sucks. ... You just guaranteed that I (a once-loyal customer) will never consume a single pint of it. ... When you suggest 'returning' the land on which our country has been built for centuries, what exactly do you imagine? Expungement of property rights? Repatriation of most Americans to Europe?"

After leaving the company with some penetrating questions to mull over, Lee noted, "There is such thing as a real ice cream made by true American patriots. I highly recommend it," linking to Brooker's Founding Flavors Ice Cream.

Some recognized that the company might understand a market correction better than pointed language online and reminders that the Ben & Jerry's factory is located on allegedly "stolen" land.
Country music singer John Rich suggested, "Make @Benndjerrys Bud Light again."
— (@)

Rich was referencing the overwhelming successful boycott of the Anheuser-Busch brand over its partnership with transvestic activist Dylan Mulvaney. Bud Light lost nearly a quarter of its business as a result, and according to former Anheuser-Busch executive Anson Frericks, the relationship with Mulvaney cost the company $20 billion in lost marketing, reported Al.com.

Dr. Jordan Peterson similarly observed, "Looks like someone is looking hard for a @budweiser moment."

WATCH: Pat Gray RIPS Vice President Kamala Harris' anti-American Columbus Day speech



Last week, Vice President Kamala Harris issued a virtual address at the National Congress of American Indians 78th annual convention. In her speech, she claimed that President Joe Biden's Build Back Better agenda would help correct the "damage and devastation" inflicted by European immigrants.

In this clip, Pat Gray, host of "Pat Gray Unleashed," expressed frustration for the way Vice President Harris spoke about the history of the United States of America.

"What other nation on Earth does this?" Pat asked.

"This is the only nation on Earth where our so-called leaders talk about what a garbage country the United States is every chance they get," Pat said.

He noted that historically, life among Native American tribes was "not exactly peaceful" prior to the arrival of European settlers.

In a sarcastic tone, Pat joked that "they [Native Americans] were in love with one another. They were always at peace with one another. They didn't ever hurt anything, not even a fly. If a fly came along, they would pet the fly."

AOC, Ilhan Omar take part in online event organized by vlogger who last year said 'America deserved 9/11'



Far-left U.S. Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) took part in an online get-out-the-vote event this week organized by Hasan Piker, an activist vlogger who last year said "America deserved 9/11," the Washington Free Beacon reported.

What are the details?

The congresswomen played the popular video game "Among Us" and livestreamed it with other gamers Tuesday night on Twitch as part of a voting outreach to young people watching on the platform, USA Today said, adding that over 435,000 people viewed the event.

Ocasio-Cortez noted at the beginning of the stream that Piker, one of the gamers, "wrangled" the event together at the last minute, the Free Beacon said.

Last year, Piker — a former former contributor to the left-wing news and commentary group The Young Turks — attacked U.S. Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-Texas) in a video and said "America deserved 9/11," the Free Beacon noted. Crenshaw lost his right eye in 2012 while serving in Iraq.

"This guy has the understanding of foreign policy of, like, a 12-year-old," Piker said of Crenshaw, according to the outlet. "What the f***. What the f*** is wrong with this dude? Didn't he go to war and like literally lose his eye because some mujahideen — a brave f***ing soldier — f***ed his eye hole with their d***."

Piker also said, "America deserved 9/11, dude. F*** it, I'm saying it."

Following backlash, Piker admitted his comments were "inappropriate" and poorly executed satire, the Wrap said.

"I didn't say Americans deserved 9/11 — I said America deserves 9/11," Piker added, according to the Wrap.

Even Cenk Uygur of The Young Turks called Piker's words "incredibly crass" and "wrong," the outlet noted.

Piker's response? "Maybe you can chalk it up to English being my second language or whatever you want to chalk it up to," he said, according to the Wrap.

What else?

Twitch suspended Piker for his comments last year, the Free Beacon said.

More from the outlet:

Ocasio-Cortez was scheduled to participate in an event Tuesday evening to honor the late Israeli prime minister Yitzhak Rabin but pulled out last month after facing pressure from Palestinian activists. She has also refused to meet with multiple Jewish leaders and community activists in New York City.

Omar, of course, is well known for anti-Semitism and last year infamously characterized the events of 9/11 as "some people did something." Ocasio-Cortez defended Omar as backlash hit due to her 9/11 statement, saying criticisms of Omar were an "incitement of violence against progressive women of color," the Associated Press said.
