Why indoctrinated kids just handed the Big Apple to a radical Marxist



Zohran Mamdani didn’t win New York City’s Democratic mayoral primary because he is young and charismatic, empathizes with people’s everyday grievances, or ran a brilliant campaign. The real reason is much more terrifying.

The reason the Muslim Marxist from Queens crushed his opponents may be summarized in two words: indoctrinated kids. Simple math shows you what happened.

This isn’t going to remain isolated to New York City. This playbook is about to be replicated faster than E. coli in petri dishes in every city across America.

New York City counts roughly 5.1 million registered voters. Between 750,000 and 850,000 are between the ages of 18 and 29. Another 1.6 to 1.8 million fall between 30 and 49.

Together, those groups total about 2.5 million voters — half the city’s electorate. In other words, half of New York’s voting base consists of what I call “indoctrinated kids.”

Ten years ago, I had a recurring weekly segment on my show called “Campus Madness.” Every week, we told the grisly stories of conservative students facing awful discrimination on campus — simply because they were conservative: grades docked, free speech infringed, humiliation by professors, denied funding from the student body, and so on. The point of the segment was to expose the rampant abuse of conservatives on leftist college campuses.

But honestly, we missed the point. Sure, conservative students faced discrimination — and still do. That was unjust and remains a serious problem.

The greater threat came from students who arrived on campus either apolitical or mildly liberal. They didn’t face discrimination. They didn’t need to. They were the targets.

Their minds were open and their politics malleable. Four years later, they emerged not as moderates but as committed Marxists — true believers in a worldview shaped by relentless indoctrination. Their professors didn’t just challenge ideas. They hammered home an agenda: anti-American, anti-white, anti-God, anti-human.

Back then, people joked, “Wait till these silly Millennials get to the real world.” Nope. Those students brought their radicalism with them. Instead of waking up, they woke everything else. And the result is today’s “woke-ified” culture — one shaped more by the classroom than by common sense.

Returning to how this nutty Muslim Marxist just won the Democrat primary for mayor, New York City’s voting demographic explains it all.

Two and a half million of 5.1 million total registered voters are in the “indoctrinated kids” age bracket. One million of those 2.5 million are college graduates. That means 20% of voters in the city are the product of the Marxist indoctrination factories we call “colleges” and “universities.”

Only 11% of New York City voters of all ages are registered Republicans, so read the writing on the wall.

Zohran Mamdani isn't the Democrats’ nominee because voters didn’t understand his Marxism. The indoctrinated kids chose Mamdani because of his Marxism.

The indoctrinated kids are committed radical leftist ideologues — thanks to our colleges and universities that were subverted decades ago by communists who knew exactly what they were doing. They were playing the long game, knowing they were stealing the minds of whole generations of youth who one day — today — would be the deciding factor in our elections.

The scariest part is that this isn’t going to remain isolated to New York City. This playbook is about to be replicated faster than E. coli in a petri dish in every city across America.

It must be stopped. President Donald Trump must defund any college or university that indoctrinates youth in anti-American ideology — including private schools that accept federally subsidized student loans and research grants. Cut it all. They won’t survive a week without the federal government’s largesse. The Marxists are in it to win it. If we don’t use the authority we have while we’re in power, the United States of America will be lost.

If you don’t believe me, just listen to Mamdani speak for two minutes.

Flipping cars for ‘justice’ — then back to poli-sci class



Some images linger like bad philosophy. One such image: a masked individual standing triumphantly on a vandalized car, waving a giant Mexican flag, at a protest against mass deportations. It’s not a political cartoon. It’s the radical left’s icon. And it perfectly captures the confused moral universe behind the Los Angeles riots and the so-called “indigenous land” movement.

— (@)  
 

As a professor at a secular university, I can assure you this isn’t fringe lunacy. It’s the tip of the philosophical iceberg. Beneath that smoldering car is a massive ideological structure that has been meticulously constructed over decades — paid for, ironically, by federal and state tax dollars.

These rioters don’t actually want to return the land. They want the luxury of moral superiority minus the inconvenience of coherent thought.

If it were possible, I’d love to survey the people flipping cars and heaving concrete blocks at police cruisers. I strongly suspect many of the ringleaders hold degrees in the liberal arts — more specifically, degrees in identity activism. You know the type: gender studies, black studies, Latinx studies, queer theory, or some intersectional combination thereof.

Don’t worry — they went to college

If you visit the department websites of these programs at any given university, you’ll often find “activist” listed as the No. 1 career path. No need to wonder what you can do with a $120,000 degree — you can become the ideological arsonist who trains the next generation to believe the United States is irredeemably Christian, unjust, and colonial — and maybe even get in some looting of the capitalist luxury stores.

So when you see a rioter in Los Angeles shouting on CNN about how the land was “stolen from Mexico,” just know: That’s the university curriculum talking. In one now-viral clip, a young woman (yes, I just assumed her gender) yells at a police officer, “As long as you feel OK with capitalism, racist, imperialist state.” Asked if she even knows what she’s saying, her reply is priceless: “Yes, b***h, I'm in college.”

Exactly.

These students have never been taught about the establishment of land ownership in world history or even the basic historical facts of the American Southwest. They don’t know that Mexico owned it for only 27 years, yet they think it is their ancestral homeland. If anything, Spain should be in the mix, asking for it back from Mexico.

And remember: We’re all paying for that education through state funding — drawn from taxes paid by ... wait for it ... capitalists. No gratitude. No irony. Just tuition-funded tantrums.

A modest glance at history will remind you that the United States conquered large parts of Mexico in 1848. But here’s the twist: The U.S. didn’t just grab the land and walk away whistling. No, it gave back a substantial portion, paid Mexico $15 million (a princely sum at the time) for the remaining territory — including what is now California — and forgave the Mexican government’s outstanding debts.

But the student activists aren’t interested in political history. And they don’t really want to live in Mexico. Even if they did, Mexico's immigration laws are strict, its economy is difficult, and it most certainly doesn’t tolerate foreigners burning down public property in the name of “revolution against the government.”

Marxism underwritten by capitalists

These rioters don't actually want to return the land. They want the luxury of moral superiority minus the inconvenience of coherent thought. They want their air conditioning, DoorDash, TikTok, and virtue signaling ... on stolen land. Any one of them could sell the assets they acquired within the capitalist system and donate the proceeds to an indigenous cause. But they want to make other people do this with their money.

At their campus protests and university-sponsored events, they perform ritualized “land acknowledgments,” reciting that their college stands on “unceded indigenous territory,” as if confessing to a metaphysical sin. But the penance never includes selling their house and giving it to a tribe. And why?

Because the first tribes are lost to history — conquered by later tribes, who were themselves conquered, until eventually the Spanish brought law and order to warring tribes. The cycle of conquest is not new; it is one of the oldest stories in human civilization. What’s different now is the selective outrage.

Here lies the real problem: Modern activist ideology seeks to appeal to justice but lacks a standard by which to define it. This is why all of this activist nonsense we are paying gender studies professors to teach is so empty. It appeals to justice without any standard by which to adjudicate the question.

If the land was stolen, then: Who stole it? From whom? And what court now has jurisdiction?

Even if you could answer the first two — and in most cases, you can’t — the third is impossible under their belief system. If you begin playing “we were here firsties,” you have to go all the way back.

Theirs is a godless appeal to justice, and godless justice is just another word for mob rule. It is ultimately just mob rule stirred up by malcontents to motivate masses of discontents — which is why they are simply called Marxists. Not because they’ve read “Das Kapital” but because they’re looking for a framework that legitimizes their rage and offers power without accountability. And in Marx, they find a convenient excuse to tear down everything that came before — especially anything remotely Christian.

All of their disappointment in life is aimed at the outward object called “the United States.” No reflection on their own condition — just rage against the machine.

God has the last word

But for those who believe that God is the final judge, the phrase "Let God judge between us” is not a cliché. It’s a fearful thing. It means a moral order lies beyond human manipulation. It means that even if we don’t see civil justice now, true justice is ontological, everlasting, and inescapable.

Marxist rioters cannot make this appeal. They live in a world of only immanent causes and material grievances. No final judge and no moral standard above power awaits to hold their actions accountable — therefore, no peace. They rage because they must. Their rage is at existence itself. And when they finish one protest, they must invent another. Their revolution has no eschaton — only exhaustion.

So they flip over cars and set fires. Some loot — not just because they're angry at injustice or need a new pair of shoes, but because they have no vision of the good, only a fixation on the bad. And in seeking a purely material form of justice, they have lost their souls.

They complained about the one who supposedly stole land while forgetting about the one who can cast their soul into hell. The prospect of God’s justice should make all of us repent.

It is time to stop funding this madness. It is time to restore an education grounded in truth — not truth as a tool of power but truth that judges us all.

Until then, don’t be surprised when your car is flipped by someone with a $100,000 degree in “decolonial eco-poetics.” And don’t be shocked when they scream “justice!” without the ability to define what it is.

After all, they went to college.

Gen Z is taking 'Adulting 101' classes — is it as dumb as it sounds?



Universities are capitalizing on Gen Z's apparent lack of knowledge of budgeting, personal health, and general happiness, offering classes to fill in the gaps.

Generation Z, typically referred to as those who were born between 1997 and 2012, apparently need help with "adulting."

According to the University of California, Riverside, "adulting" encompasses learning how to succeed with basic needs, being ready for a career, and learning "financial wellness."

'Navigate the complexities of everyday life as an independent adult.'

Not only is UC Riverside teaching the youth how to adult but so are at least four other institutions.

Newsweek reported Michigan State University and nonprofit JCI Santa Clarita have similar classes, while CBC News reported on two Canadian universities that are doing the same.

Michigan State held monthly seminars in 2024 to "conquer real life skills" like resume writing, building credit, and building healthy relationships. Even cooking basics and making jellies and jams made the cut for the "Adulting 101" course.

In a comment to Newsweek, a spokesperson for Michigan State said the main goal of the program is to provide resources that help teens and young adults "navigate the complexities of everyday life as an independent adult."

"We have found some of the most popular classes relate to financial literacy: credit, investing, banking, and budgeting," the spokesperson added, noting that attendance ranges from 50 to 1,000 people per session.

UC Riverside had a more charitable spirit for their "Adulting 101: IRL Program."

Some participants were given a $500 grant after attending the program, which was even made available to veterans, student parents, and homeless people.

In March, JCI Santa Clarita offered high school seniors and juniors the opportunity to take on a fictional identity with a career and salary.

"Students decide if they want to max out their budget or be frugal while facing surprise situations like coming into extra cash or having to cover an unexpected expense," the listing read.

That program was called "Get Real: Adulting 101."

At the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada, the "Adulting Guide" lists prioritizing one's "mental and physical self" as the No. 1 skill an adult needs. This is followed by healthy eating and maintaining a tidy living space.

At Toronto Metropolitan University — which changed its name in 2022 over vague notions of colonialism and diversity — a freshman student explained how his adulting course has helped him.

"I don't know how to change a tire. I don't have a car at all. I don't know how to sew. I don't know how to do a lot of things, other than cooking," student Aldhen Garcia told CBC.

Garcia said he thought it was important to teach financial literacy to children because "a lot of stuff involves money."

'Illegal immigration is a cancer': Iranian student sues California college, claiming staff stifled free speech



An international student from Iran is suing a California college for allegedly threatening him with punishment over some political statements.

Matin Samimiat claimed administrators from Golden West College took issue with comments about illegal immigration, men in women's sports, and the Israel-Palestine war.

'I left Iran to enjoy the amazing freedom that the United States offers.'

Samimiat and fellow student Annaliese Hutchings reportedly caused controversy with their booth at Golden West's Club Expo in February in Huntington Beach, California. The booth, which Samimiat operated with the conservative organization Young America’s Foundation, displayed a "change my mind" sign that encouraged students to engage in debate with him and Hutchings.

However, it was not anything Samimiat said that caused an issue with the school. Rather, statements written on a whiteboard in front of the booth allegedly caused the stir.

The board read: "Being an American is a privilege and we should all be thankful for it," "Illegal immigration is a cancer upon any society in the world," and "Men do not belong in women's sports and spaces."

According to the College Fix, the board also labeled Hamas a "terrorist organization" that must be "wiped from the face of the earth."

These statements were apparently enough for Stephanie Smallshaw, Golden West's director of student life and leadership development, to reach out to Samimiat to request a meeting.

Samimiat and Hutchings, along with YAF, were named as plaintiffs in a lawsuit that claimed to provide details of the meeting Smallshaw had with the students.

The lawsuit alleged that while Samimiat and Hutchings were advised the meeting was informal, it was meant to serve as a "courtesy warning."

The lawsuit further alleged that Smallshaw told the students they would be disciplined if they continued writing similar statements as they did on the whiteboard. Smallshaw allegedly claimed the statement regarding illegal immigration "dehumanizes a group of people and compares them to a deadly disease."

Regarding the Hamas statements, Smallshaw allegedly told the students, "You can't use language that can incite violence and encourage the killing of a group of people."

Golden West College and Smallshaw did not respond to Blaze News' request for comment.

Samimiat told the College Fix that he left the Middle East and came to the U.S. to avoid such things.

"I left Iran to enjoy the amazing freedom that the United States offers. Now I find myself threatened with punishment for expressing political opinions — because they happen to be opinions that administrators don’t like."

Political commentator Ian Miles Cheong told Blaze News that while some schools have faced bans on international student visas, students like Samimiat seem to "understand what it means to be an American" and should not face discipline.

"Isn't the whole point of college to educate students on how to think critically? It's obvious that college administrations, who wield so much power over what happens and what people say on campus, are terrified of some members of the student body," Cheong added.

Woke '60 Minutes' host Scott Pelley claims diversity is now 'illegal' in progressive rant at Wake Forest commencement



CBS News and "60 Minutes" host Scott Pelley delivered a speech to university graduates that was pro-free speech and seemingly against President Donald Trump's administration.

The 67-year-old spoke at Wake Forest University's commencement on May 19 in what was an incredibly performative address, discussing fascism, free speech, and even Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

'Diversity is now described as illegal. Equity is to be shunned. Inclusion is a dirty word.'

After several jokes bombed with the audience of heat stroke-adjacent graduates, the crowd cooked in the 84-degree weather as Pelley flamboyantly raved about his work in astronomy, his travel to the United Kingdom, and his interview with the Ukrainian leader.

Pelley then warned onlookers that many would not like what he had to say before delving into commentary about how the "sacred rule of law is under attack" in the United States.

"Journalism is under attack. Universities are under attack. Freedom of speech is under attack, and insidious fear is reaching through our schools, our businesses, our homes, and into our private thoughts," he said.

The reporter then seemed to direct his words at Trump and his administration, albeit without naming the sitting president.

"The fear to speak in America," Pelley said, emphasizing the audacity of the idea.

Waving his arms in the air and gesturing as if he were in a Broadway play, Pelley accurately stated that "power can rewrite history with grotesque, false narratives."

"They can make criminals heroes and heroes criminals. Power can change the definition of the words we use to describe reality," he continued.

Then, revealing his progressive bias, Pelley claimed that "diversity is now described as illegal. Equity is to be shunned. Inclusion is a dirty word."

The Texan added, "This is an old playbook, my friends. There's nothing new in this."

In response to a clip of the speech, Fox News reporter Guy Benson pointed out that "60 Minutes" aired a glowing segment about Germany's anti-free speech policies in February, noting that it included "ZERO dissenting voices" and not even "one quote against censorship."

During the segment, CBS host Sharyn Alfonsi asked a panel of German lawyers if it was a crime in their country to insult someone in public.

"Yes. Yes. It is," was their reply; they also agreed it was a crime to insult someone online.

Josephine Ballon, one of the prosecutors, also said, "Without boundaries, a very small group of people can rely on endless freedom to say anything they want, while everyone else is scared and intimidated."

Pelley's remarks at Wake Forest could not be categorized as anti-free speech, though, and actually mirrored a typical pro-America diatribe.

"Your country needs you and needs you today," Pelley told the audience. "America works well when we listen to those we disagree with ... and have common ground and compromise."

However, the host's words included a progressive twist at almost every turn — and perverted the reality of who or what is standing in the way of true free speech.

"One thing we can all agree on, one thing at least," he said. "America is at her best when everyone is included."
