    What the DSA Policy of Ending the Nuclear Family Looks Like
    The Democratic Socialists of America believes that if society were to eliminate “the nuclear family,” which it describes as a “structure built to preserve capitalism,” the United States would enjoy more “women’s, queer, and Indigenous liberation.” I’m here to debunk that myth. This is nothing more than another DSA fairy tale. When I was a…

    Open Prostitution Booms in NYC. It’s All Part of the Socialist Plan.
    Prostitution is openly proliferating in New York City thanks to socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani. It’s all part of the plan. The New York Post reported on Sunday that “prostitution-related arrests have plunged by 60%” this year in the city. That’s not cause for celebration. A decline in arrests doesn’t mean there has been a decline…

    Seattle: Where the CEOs Have to Do the Mayor’s Job
    Thirty-eight of the biggest names in American business just sent a memo to City Hall, and it reads less like corporate lobbying and more like a performance review nobody asked for. Microsoft, Starbucks, Costco, Nordstrom, Zillow, Alaska Airlines, T-Mobile, and the Seattle Mariners put their names on a letter to Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson demanding…

    Abdul El-Sayed’s Socialism by Another Name
    Abdul El-Sayed would like voters to know that he is not a socialist. The Democrat nominee for U.S. Senate in Michigan made that clear during a July debate. “When it comes to the question of socialism, I’m not a socialist,” he said. Fair enough.

    The Promise of Socialism Is Misery for All
    THE WASHINGTON STAND—Earlier this week, the House of Representatives voted 220-192 to approve a resolution condemning socialism. Only eight Democrats joined the Republicans in voting for the measure.

    Piker & El-Sayed: Comedy Gold
    Hasan Piker & Abdul El-Sayed have become the greatest comedy duo since Abbott & Costello.  Bud Abbott and Lou Costello thrived from 1935 to 1957 in burlesque, radio, motion pictures, and TV—from their beloved “Who’s on First?” routine to their “7 x 13 = 28” sketch.
