Trump must do to American Marxism what Reagan did to Soviet Marxism



Anybody with an IQ hovering just above double digits did not really believe that Joe Biden wouldn’t pardon his son Hunter in the end. The lie was always the point. That’s why I don’t bristle at being called a conspiracy theorist any longer.

The initial trigger for my entrance into such a brave new world was what happened with Brett Kavanaugh. The final trigger was being told during COVID-19 that natural immunity doesn't exist. And the very same people who told those lies also said that Biden was too principled, too honorable, to pardon his son. Folks, they will lie to us about literally everything.

We are dealing with worldviews that are not reconcilable and cannot peacefully coexist on this earth.

Not only is being called a conspiracy theorist not a bad thing, but it’s probably a sign at this point that you're awake and paying attention. You know, unlike Justice Sonia Sotomayor, who just compared the side effects of a child getting his genitals chopped off to taking aspirin. Congratulations, you’re not insane like her!

So the question then becomes how we should respond to such demonic gaslighting going forward. In the past, I tried to be high-minded about that and stressed the need to be careful about seeking vengeance because of what can happen when the rabbit finally gets the gun. But that is yesterday’s war. Once you’ve seen Kavanaugh turned into a marauding rapist, you start to question whether diffusing power is still a morally available or even desirable option in a land where only one side is playing by a broken social contract.

We're in a war now, so now I am firmly in the camp that we must wield the power that has been given to us with extreme prejudice. We are dealing with worldviews that are not reconcilable and cannot peacefully coexist on this earth, just as the Soviet and Western views of the world could not coexist. And the Soviets were the one side willing to act as if that was the case for the better part of two decades until a guy named Ronald Reagan came along and said enough is enough.

You want a Cold War? I'm going to give it to you.

Now the Soviet Union no longer exists. That’s power.

Unfortunately, though, much of the Soviet Marxist cultural rot ended up downloading itself into our mainframe here at home after it was defeated over there. And here’s some not-so-breaking news: The endlessly smug, sanctimonious gaslighting from the “trust the experts” class isn’t going to just going to go away on its own. The press is packed with absolute liars who are addicted to whipping it out and urinating right in your face while telling you it’s raining.

You can’t share a country with them because they don't want to share it with you. We're the ones that would be inclined to say, listen, if you guys all want to live in California and Oregon, figure it out and leave the rest of us alone. But we tried that for about 25 years, and all we got for our mediation efforts was a promise from the left to turn Texas blue. So that’s gonna be a no from me, dawg. We’re just going to have to teach you a lesson from the old school. Where’s my belt?

And they will deserve it. Because leftist progressives enjoy hurting people. They allowed open borders, and if your daughter got raped and murdered, so be it, as long as they could cheat in elections. They gave all your money to the crime syndicate in Ukraine and then laughed at you when the ensuing inflation raised the prices of everyday goods beyond your reach. They “transitioned” your kids. They mandated a poisonous jab. That’s what all the lies and gaslighting brought upon you, and it was on purpose.

In the face of such a rap sheet, yes indeed, there must be justice and retribution from a godly people bent on never letting it happen again. At an absolute minimum, what Trump should do is issue pre-emptive pardons to himself, every member of his administration, every one of his donors, every one of his closest advisers and associates, heck, anyone who has ever taken a picture with him. Lawfare, you say? You wanna get nuts? Let’s get nuts.

Oh, and everybody currently in prison for January 6 gets pardoned instantly, and the cop who shot Ashli Babbitt gets charged with murder. Because just like the Soviet Union in the 1980s, the only thing these people are going listen to is the threat of mutually assured destruction. The option for mercy has run its course. They chose the way of pain. Let’s honor their request.

Trump’s Victory Alone Won’t Make America Great Again. We Have To Do That Ourselves

Twenty years from now, we could remember the coming four years as the beginning a new Golden Age for our country.

Trump’s culture war offensive won the election



Donald Trump has made an impressive political career of proving the D.C. consultant class wrong. In 2016, he won the presidency by running a campaign nearly the opposite of what the infamous RNC “autopsy” report had prescribed four years earlier. In 2020, he came just 42,000 votes short of winning again, despite facing unprecedented obstacles from a global pandemic and its aftermath.

And now, Trump has once again shown his instincts are far better than those who claim to be “professionals.” In an election where most pundits were urging Republicans to hyper-focus on standard issues such as the economy and immigration, Trump instead went on offense on one of Democrats’ greatest vulnerabilities: their far-left stance on transgender issues. That decision has propelled him back to the White House.

If you don’t trust the polling, then you should at least trust the results.

In the final few weeks, exposing Kamala Harris’ transgender radicalism became the closing message of the Trump campaign. According to AdImpact, Republicans spent at least $215 million total on ads highlighting the radical consequences of the Harris-Walz agenda: male athletes in women’s sports, sex-change surgeries and puberty blockers for minor children, ideological indoctrination in public schools, and, most visibly, taxpayer-funded sex-change operations for prisoners and illegal immigrants. One reportsuggests Trump focused his ads more on these issues than on the economy, housing, and immigration combined.

This strategy flew directly in the face of conventional wisdom. In the run-up to the election, politicos from both parties argued that the transgender issue only catered to the GOP base and wouldn’t resonate with the wider electorate. Yet outside their D.C. bubble, the issue was indeed resonating. For anyone with a pulse on the average American voter, this shouldn’t have come as a surprise.

For years, polling has shown that Democrats’ transgender stances are extremely unpopular. For example, a 2023 NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll found voters opposed to allowing minors to receive “gender transition-related health care” by 37 points, even if a parent or guardian consents. A Yahoo News survey this month showed Americans believe that the left’s gender-ideology agenda has gone too far by a 24-point margin. And a YouGov poll found voters in swing states agree with the Republican position on gender and bathrooms by margins of 16 points or more.

Such lopsided numbers aren’t just driven by Republican respondents, either. Large numbers of independents, young people, suburban women, black voters, and Latinos all side with conservatives on these issues.

But if you don’t trust the polling, then you should at least trust the results. The first general election cycle focused this heavily and forthrightly on transgender issues was in 2021. There, the transgender debate helped propel Gov. Glenn Youngkin in the final weeks to his shocking upset in Virginia. Meanwhile around the country, dozens of states were beginning to pass laws to prohibit males in girls’ sports and restrict gender transition procedures for minors. When South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem (R) decided to veto a transgender sports bill early in the year, a massive backlash followed. To Noem’s credit, she changed course and signed a similar bill in the following legislative session.

In 2022, opposition to the transgender agenda continued to gain momentum. Yet more states took action, including in Texas, where Gov. Greg Abbott declared gender transitioning children to be child abuse. In Florida, Gov. Ron DeSantis won a resounding re-election after a first term defined in large part by his embrace of cultural conservatism. This set him apart from many other GOP candidates nationwide, most of whom barely used gender issues in ads — to their detriment. In a midterm where Republicans largely underperformed, failing to take advantage of one of the Democrats’ biggest vulnerabilities turned out to be a significant mistake.

Of course, that was not the case this year. Beyond Trump’s own campaign, numerous other candidates went on offense on gender issues, spending hundreds of millions of dollars in Senate and House races nationwide. This was a smart strategy, not only to energize the Republican base but also to appeal to persuadable voters. According to data collected by my organization’s political arm, American Principles Project PAC, our own ads on transgender issues we have run in campaigns since 2019 have consistently moved tens of thousands of swing voters from Democratic to GOP candidates.

In this year’s election, one can also trace the potential effect these ads had through polling. For example, in Ohio’s U.S. Senate race, the Senate Leadership Fund began running ads highlighting Democrat Sherrod Brown’s record on transgender issues in early September. Around the same time, Republican Bernie Moreno began to rise in the polls, eventually pulling even with Brown after trailing by six points when the ads first started, according to the FiveThirtyEight average. Similar movement can be seen in many other races where such ads were aired.

In short, there can be little doubt that Republicans’ culture war offensive was a decisive element of their victory. And with Democrats now on the back foot, the GOP should press its advantage. Force Democrats to take votes in Congress on keeping men out of women’s sports and protecting kids from dangerous transgender medical procedures. Take executive action on these issues and dare Democratic leaders in blue states to sue. As long as the left continues to stick to these unpopular positions, they will continue to be a liability for them.

Twice now, Donald Trump has bucked D.C. elites and been rewarded for doing so. Perhaps it’s time for those elites to finally start taking notes.

Kamala's comedy cult: Late-night hosts venerate veep



Regrets, Jerry Seinfeld has a few.

No, he isn’t apologizing for skewering pro-Palestinian protesters at his comedy appearances earlier this year.

'Maybe this election, maybe you don’t have a candidate that you love, but you have to have an issue that you, maybe the somebody you love is you.'

He’d do that again in a heartbeat.

He wants to take back his thoughts on the “extreme left” crushing comedy.

Et tu, Jerry?

In an interview published in Variety yesterday, the "Seinfeld" alum mused:

Does culture change and are there things that I used to say that [I can’t because] people are always moving [the gate]? Yes, but that’s the biggest and easiest target. You can’t say certain words about groups. So what? The accuracy of your observation has to be 100 times finer than that just to be a comedian. ... So I don’t think, as I said, the "extreme left" has done anything to inhibit the art of comedy.

Did Seinfeld catch holy heck in the comedy community for that initial opinion? The backpedal here is Tim Walz-weird, Jerry!

And he was right the first time, of course.

'Joker's' home invasion

The movie that scared Warner Bros. executives silly is coming home for Halloween.

“Joker: Folie a Deux,” which may lose the studio up to $200 million, will be out on VOD Oct. 29. It opened Oct. 4, crashed at the box office, and then plummeted an astonishing 80% in week two.

Who could have predicted a film that ditched everything that made the first “Joker” click and added musical numbers might disappoint at the box office?

The film feels like an elaborate trick from director Todd Phillips. Guess he loved that ”Joker burns money” meme so much he brought it to life.

Hathaway's hash

Word salad. It’s catchy and delicious!

Consider Oscar winner Anne Hathaway. She dropped in on a Broadway fundraiser for Vice President Kamala Harris earlier this week. The “Les Miserables” star assumed the best way to honor the presidential candidate was to talk just like Harris.

“We got a big choice to make, America, you have to make a choice, you do have to vote. Maybe this election, maybe you don’t have a candidate that you love, but you have to have an issue that you, maybe the somebody you love is you. You gotta vote for yourself, America,” she said.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, no?

No ha-has from Harris hacks

We knew late-night hosts have no shame, but this is getting absurd.

Both Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert shifted from partisan hacks to literal cogs in the DNC machine earlier this year. They hosted Democratic fundraisers for President Joe Biden before the not-so-active senior’s cognitive decline made its national debut June 27 at the presidential debate.

The comedians covered up that open secret for three-plus years. And happily so!

Now they’re pouncing and seizing on a generic medical report from Harris that says she’s in excellent health.

“This weekend, Harris released her latest medical report, which states that she's ‘in excellent health.’ It's great that just the words ‘excellent health’ kinda feel like a dig at Donald Trump. They should follow that up with ‘can walk up stairs’ and ‘is potty trained.’”

Satire needs a kernel of truth to be funny. Break out a magnifying glass, and you still won’t find anything funny there.

Sad? Yes. Funny? Not so much.

'Saturday Night' dies

“Saturday Night” is dying at the box office.

The film capturing the chaotic moments from “Saturday Night Live’s” first episode earned mostly positive reviews and solid box office results from its New York/L.A. debut. The film opened wider over the weekend, and audiences mostly stayed away. The film earned $3.9 million on 2,300 screens.

Maybe we don’t want to be reminded of a time when SNL delivered smart, irreverent comedy without an agenda. For longtime fans, that’s a jagged little pill to swallow.

At any rate, "Saturday Night" is notable for at least one reason. After decades of box-office flops based on SNL characters, this is the first bomb based on the show itself.

Blaze News original: 5 popular musicians who are unapologetically conservative



The music industry is often considered to be a business dominated by liberals. However, there are a handful of prominent musicians who are staunchly conservative.

No matter the music genre, there are musicians and singers who possess traditional values and promote right-leaning political viewpoints.

Conservative musicians often incorporate themes of patriotism, small-town values, faith, and individual liberty into their songs. Some singers make their political preferences known by endorsing Republican candidates or criticizing liberal politicians. A few musical groups will even perform at conservative political events.

Music acts that present an authentic conservative message can resonate with music lovers and garner a loyal fanbase that will support them for years.

Openly conservative musicians often face challenges and enhanced scrutiny in an industry that is generally perceived as liberal-leaning.

The songs of conservative singers can shape both the musical landscape and political discourse in America, which can be a unique weapon in the ongoing culture wars.

This list will highlight the best and most popular musicians who are unapologetically conservative and how their political beliefs shape their artistry and resonate with their fans.

Aaron Lewis

Aaron Lewis is the frontman of the popular rock band Staind as well as a solo country music artist. Lewis is unapologetically conservative and is not afraid to voice his political opinions in real life and in his songs.

Lewis started his country music career in 2010 after being the frontman for the multi-platinum-selling alternative rock band Staind. Switching genres and becoming a solo artist has allowed Lewis to be more vocal about his right-leaning politics.

Lewis often features conservative themes in his country music songs.

In his song "Let's Go Fishing," Lewis sings about "making America great again," "turning off CNN," and uses the anti-Biden "Let's Go, Brandon" catchphrase.

The lyrics for "Country Boy" state: "Now, two flags fly above my land that really sum up how I feel / One is the colors that fly high and proud, the red, the white, the blue / The other one's got a rattlesnake with a simple statement made: 'Don't Tread On Me' is what is says and I'll take that to my grave / Because this is me / I'm proud to be American and strong in my beliefs / And I've said it before but I'll say it again / 'Cause I've never needed government to hold my hand."

The patriotic lyrics in "Am I the Only One" include: "Am I the only one sittin' here / Still holdin' on, holdin' back my tears / For the ones who paid with the lives they gave / God bless the U.S.A. / I'm not the only one, willin' to fight / For my love of the red and white / And the blue, burnin' on the ground / Another statue comin' down in a town near you / Watchin' the threads of Old Glory come undone."

Lewis told Blaze News, "I feel it’s my responsibility to do something good with what God has been so gracious to bless me with. I'm very fact-based. When it comes to the things I’ll say on stage, I can back them up with receipts."

The singer added, "I was around before cell phones and computers. I know what life was like before the deep state and the Democrats were given the ultimate power of the computer and power to brainwash everybody."

As Blaze News reported in 2021, Lewis blasted Democrats for being "responsible for every f***ing scar that exists" in America.

Lewis said there was "an all-out call" for his cancelation when he released "Am I the Only One," which debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's Hot Country chart in 2021.

During a January appearance on "The Devin Nunes Podcast," Lewis told the former Republican House representative, "I'm very blessed in the sense that even though my label president, Scott Borchetta, does not agree with us at all, he believes in the freedom of speech and the freedom of expression, and he's a president of a record label; that is creativity, that's freedom of expression."

Lewis said, "I can't say that I was always a conservative. I mean, when you're younger, it's more about ... There's an old saying that when you're young, if you're not a liberal, you don't have a heart. And then when you're older, if you're still a liberal, you don't have a brain. Or something to that effect. But what happened was is that I got older and responsibilities came into play and having a family and having a home that I had to take care of."

"I don't understand how so many people can be so brainwashed when it is so crystal clear. It's never been so crystal clear," Lewis continued. "The veil has never been pulled away to the extent that it is right now. And it blows my mind that people are so brainwashed that they call it ... Everything's flip-flopped. Truth, lies and propaganda, and the propaganda is hailed as truth. The narrative is hailed as truth, and it's societal insanity."

Blaze News previously reported that Scott Borchetta said, "Aaron Lewis and I have political disagreements. But there are also things we agree on. I think that's the foundation for the idea of our country. It doesn't work if we're so divided that we can't reach across the aisle, have a conversation or an argument, and ultimately shake hands. If we can't do that, and this moment is so divisive, we may never get our country back."

Borchetta continued, "To just 'cancel' (drop) Aaron is ridiculous, and I'm disappointed that you would even suggest such a thing. Comparing Aaron Lewis to the Ghetto Boys? That's a reach and a half. You don't have to agree or acknowledge, but Aaron's message is speaking to millions of people. Let it be a wake up call to Reps and Dems alike — be loud and be heard! It woke you up. It inspired you to make a statement. It worked. And it's working. It's inspiring conversation."

Lewis named BlazeTV's Mark Levin as one of his go-to sources for news.

Trace Adkins

Country music star Trace Adkins is not afraid to voice his penchant for conservative values.

Adkins has incorporated conservative and Christian messages in several of his songs, including "Fightin' Words," Tough People Do," "American Man," "Songs About Me," "Welcome to Hell," and "Muddy Water."

The deep-voiced singer has paid homage to American military members and those who made the ultimate sacrifice during hostile conflicts in his songs, including "Arlington," "Til the Last Shot's Fired," "Empty Chair," "Still a Soldier," and "Semper Fi."

Adkins has volunteered with the Wounded Warrior Project — an organization that provides medical assistance, mental health therapy, and career counseling to wounded service members returning home from the military conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Since 2002, Trace Adkins has performed in 12 USO tours all across the world.

Adkins previously said he is a "lifelong member of the NRA."

Adkins has a history of performing for Republican politicians.

Adkins endorsed Mitt Romney and performed at the 2012 Republican National Convention.

In 2015, Adkins performed the National Anthem at former Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam's second inauguration.

John Rich

Country music star John Rich has consistently championed conservative values during his career. The multi-platinum artist and one-half of the duo Big & Rich has also promoted his faith in his songs.

Rich's music video for his song "Revelation" dramatizes the battle between the Archangel Michael and Satan, as described in Revelation 12.

The music video concludes with the text of Revelation 12:10-11 on the screen: "And I heard a loud voice saying in Heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the Kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night."

In an interview with Tucker Carlson, Rich said of writing his religious song, "I was at home in Nashville, not even thinking about writing a song, when suddenly it felt like a hammer hit me in the back of the head."

"When the Lord slaps you upside the head with something, you have a physical reaction to it,” Rich said. “The message I felt coming back to me was, ‘Take it all the way to the mat.’”

In his song "Progress" — which reached No. 1 on iTunes — Rich skewers progressive politics.

The lyrics read, "Stick your progress where the sun don't shine / Keep your big mess away from me and mine / If you leave us alone, well, we'd all be just fine / Stick your progress where the sun don't shine."

Rich performed at the closing ceremony of the 2008 Republican National Convention.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) used Rich's anti-Wall Street anthem "Shuttin' Detroit Down" to promote his 2016 presidential campaign.

The lyrics state: "Cause in the real world they're shutting Detroit down / While the boss man takes his bonus pay and jets on out of town and DC's bailing out them bankers as the farmers auction ground / Yeah while they're living it up on Wall Street in that New York City town / Here in the real world they're shuttin' Detroit down."

Rich has been a staunch supporter of former President Donald Trump, and Big & Rich performed at a pre-inaugural ceremony for Trump in 2017.

Winston Marshall

Winston Marshall had been the banjoist and lead guitarist for the popular folk-rock band Mumford & Sons — up until he was canceled for complimenting a conservative journalist.

As Blaze News reported in March 2021, Marshall congratulated Andy Ngo on his new book titled "Unmasked: Inside Antifa's Radical Plan to Destroy Democracy."

However, Marshall was swarmed with criticisms by liberal music fans for supporting a conservative journalist.

The controversy became so overwhelming that he took a break from Mumford & Sons "to examine [his] blindspots."

In June 2021, Marshall explained why he was leaving the band.

"I failed to foresee that my commenting on a book critical of the far-left could be interpreted as approval of the equally abhorrent far-right," Marshall wrote. "Nothing could be further from the truth. Thirteen members of my family were murdered in the concentration camps of the Holocaust. My grandma, unlike her cousins, aunts, and uncles, survived. She and I were close. My family knows the evils of fascism painfully well. To say the least. To call me 'fascist' was ludicrous beyond belief."

Marshall noted that a "viral mob" came after him.

"Then followed libelous articles calling me 'right-wing' and such," he continued. "Though there's nothing wrong with being conservative, when forced to politically label myself, I flutter between 'centrist,' 'liberal' or the more honest 'bit this, bit that.' Being labeled erroneously just goes to show how binary political discourse has become. I had criticized the 'left', so I must be the 'right,' or so their logic goes."

Marshall told BlazeTV's Glenn Beck that he regretted his decision to apologize to the woke mob for his praise of the conservative journalist.

"Another point, by the way, that I found it very frustrating, was that that left-wing media in this country and in my country don't even talk about [Antifa]. We can all see this footage. We see it online," Marshall told "The Glenn Beck Program." "But they don't talk about it, and that's part of my, I think, interest initially in tweeting about Andy's book. Because I think people need to see what's going on, and it's a blind spot there. ... CNN and MSNBC, they don't cover it. Biden in his presidential election said it was just 'an idea' that didn't exist. I mean, did he not see the courthouse in Oregon being burnt down?"

As Blaze News previously reported, Marshall credited his Christian faith in giving him the strength to quit Mumford & Sons.

“My faith has played a big part in this period of my life, and actually the week before making the final decision [to leave the band], I was pretty much planted in my local Catholic church around the corner from the house," Marshall said. “It's a bloody big moment for me. That's probably why after a while, the apology was bothering me like it did, particularly that I'd felt like I'd been participating in that lie that we already talked about. I couldn't square those things in my conscience."

In May 2024, Marshall challenged former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) during an Oxford Union debate that went viral. Marshall compared the Jan. 6 Capitol riots with the George Floyd riots during the summer of 2020.

"I'm sure Congresswoman Pelosi will agree that the entire month of June 2020, when the federal courthouse in Portland, Oregon, was under siege and under insurrection by radical progressives, those, too, were dark days for America," Marshall stated.

He said, "My point, though, is that all political movements are susceptible to violence and, indeed, insurrection. Populism is not a threat to democracy. Populism is democracy. And why else have universal suffrage if not to keep elites in check?"

Lee Greenwood

Lee Greenwood has charted 33 singles on Billboard's Hot Country chart, including 20 Top 10 hits, over his illustrious career that spans more than 42 years. However, none of his songs have had as lasting popularity as his patriotic anthem "God Bless the U.S.A."

"God Bless the U.S.A." became a popular patriotic song during the Gulf War in 1991 after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, and at Trump campaign rallies.

Greenwood's signature song was released in 1984, yet the single has trended on Billboard in 1984, 2001, and 2020.

Greenwood wrote the song with the intention of uniting Americans.

"I always wanted to write a song about this country that would be cohesive and tie it together," Greenwood told Inside Edition in 2011.

"God Bless the U.S.A." was the unofficial anthem for President Ronald Reagan's 1984 campaign and was the theme song for a film about Reagan shown at the 1984 Republican National Convention.

The Grammy Award-winning country-western singer performed the song at a campaign rally for Republican nominee George H.W. Bush in 1988.
