SPLC is the targeting wing of the Democrat party.

Soros is the financial wing of the Democrat party.

Antifa is the military wing of the Democrat party.

Legacy Media is the propaganda wing of the Democrat party.

Simple.

Of course: Communist Zohran Mamdani plans to do what all communists do eventually -- impose "equality" on people who are not equal. He'll end Gifted and Talented programs in NYC, because communists cannot bear that some people might have more academic potential than others.

Democratic socialist and mayoral front-runner Zohran Mamdani wants to undo the Gifted and Talented program for young New York City school kids -- the latest move to revert to ex-Mayor Bill de Blasio's era.

Mamdani, the Democratic nominee for mayor, told the New York Times that he would eliminate the program at the kindergarten level in a move that is likely to anger parents, who have been passionately divided on the issue.

The gifted classes would remain active through the school year, but would no longer be available next fall, according to the report.

The proposal by the mayoral hopeful would be the first step in phasing out the gifted program across all elementary schools -- a controversial change inside the Department of Education made by de Blasio on his way out the door in 2021.

"I will return to the previous policy," Mamdani told the outlet in a statement. "Ultimately, my administration would aim to make sure that every child receives a high-quality early education that nurtures their curiosity and learning."

The next step is to end NYC's competitive-admissions public "magnet schools," which keep the comfortable-but-not-rich in the city, because the city's private schools are hugely expensive. That was on diBlasio's chopping block too.

And that will drive the comfortable-but-not-rich middle class out of NYC once and for all.

Proof that AI is exclusively "trained" on far-left media and social media: The tech monopolists' chatbots all claim that Charlie Kirk was assassinated by a far-right extremist. Alannah Goodman for Free Beacon:

'It Was a Fatal Right-Wing Terrorist Incident': AI Chatbot Giants Claim Charlie Kirk's Killer Was Right-Wing but Say Left-Wing Violence Is 'Exceptionally Rare' This is despite the documented fact that Kirk's killer, Tyler Robinson, referred to him as a 'fascist' on an unused bullet and said he targeted the conservative commentator because 'some hate can't be negotiated out'

The major AI platforms--which have emerged as significant American news sources--describe Charlie Kirk's assassination as motivated by "right-wing ideology" and downplay left-wing violence as "exceptionally rare," according to a Washington Free Beacon analysis.

When asked to name a "recent assassination in the U.S. motivated by right-wing ideology," multiple AI chatbots--powered by OpenAI's ChatGPT, Google's Gemini, and Perplexity--listed Kirk's murder as the main example. Chatbots are tools where everyday news consumers ask questions and receive authoritative answers or fully written articles explaining a news story.

Gemini's chatbot made the provably false statement that the "assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk in September 2025 has been identified by some researchers as the only fatal right-wing terrorist incident in the U.S. during the first half of 2025."

The chatbots' inaccurate consensus that Kirk was killed by a right-wing assassin comes as the AI platforms are increasingly a primary news source for younger American news consumers. Traffic to news publishers from Google searches have plummeted in the last year as more news consumers turn to AI-powered searches. Often these search results contain limited citations, or the citations are hard to find and incomplete. The AI chatbots glean their information by training on, or crawling, mainstream media sources that often lean left.

A recent Free Beacon analysis found Al Jazeera, the virulently anti-Israel news source controlled by the Hamas-friendly State of Qatar, was one of the two most popular sources used by the AI chatbots for queries about the Israel-Hamas war. At the same time, the chatbots said they did not use overtly pro-Israel publications.

Angry incompetent lesbian Randi Weingarten continues inciting violence against normal people by branding us all as "fascists," even in the wake of Charlie Kirk's assassination. Cory DeAngelis for the NYPost:

For many Americans, the Sept. 10 assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk sparked some sober reflection on the inflammatory rhetoric that has poisoned our political discourse.

For Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers, it was a chance to kick that rhetoric up a notch.

Weingarten barreled full speed ahead with the launch of her new book, "Why Fascists Fear Teachers," within days of the tragedy.

From its opening lines invoking Adolf Hitler, Weingarten's tome equates her political opponents with history's greatest evils, smearing President Donald Trump and others as "fascists."

It's frighteningly similar to the language used by Tyler Robinson, Kirk's alleged killer, who wrote he'd "had enough of [Kirk's] hatred" and believed "some hate can't be negotiated out."

One bullet casing at the scene allegedly bore the inscription "Hey fascist! Catch!"

Yet there was Weingarten, fanning the flames by branding conservatives as fascists -- essentially suggesting that fellow Americans are "literally Hitler."

And she's hardly alone.

In the days after Kirk's murder Todd Wolfson, a vice president at Weingarten's union and president of the American Association of University Professors, ranted on social media that "Trump is the enemy" and equated presidential adviser Stephen Miller -- who is Jewish -- to chief Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels.

"The assassin was a disturbed right wing kid, influenced by Nick Fuentes, that likely murdered Kirk because he was not right wing enough," Wolfson declared on Facebook long after it was clear the opposite was true.

The rot runs deep in the teachers' unions, and it starts at the very top.

Hundreds of so-called educators publicly rejoiced in Kirk's politically motivated assassination, posting gleeful messages that crossed every line of decency.

When parents and others objected, union officials dismissed the backlash as "baseless online smear campaigns."

The Texas affiliate of Weingarten's AFT emailed members pledging to "vigorously defend" teachers "targeted" for celebrating Kirk's death online, and Weingarten herself issued a formal statement defending these teachers' "free speech."

Sure, they have the right to spew whatever venom they want on their own time -- but employers have freedom of association, too, and taxpayers shouldn't be forced to subsidize these individuals to indoctrinate impressionable minds with sick, divisive rhetoric.

This inability to read the room -- to tone it down even after Robinson's heinous act -- is emblematic of the unions' broader messaging.

Rather than simply condemning unseemly celebrations and taking responsibility for their members' words, educators are deflecting by portraying themselves as perpetual victims.

This year, the AFT passed a resolution aimed at "protecting public education from right-wing extremism."

Any time you hear someone say that America is fascist, or our president is a fascist, or the cops are fascist, you are hearing a narrative nearly a century old.

Stalin's USSR started that narrative nearly a century ago. The Communist Party USA obediently followed.

Court-sanctioned liar and Husky Huckster Michael Mann has stepped down, under pressure, from his former position of Vice Provost for Climate " " " Science " " " at UPenn, acknowledging that he is now just an angry left-wing partisan and he doesn't want to give that gig up.

Chris Martz @ChrisMartzWX

Interesting development.

Climate scientist Dr. Michael Mann has resigned his position as the Vice Provost for Climate Science, Policy, and Action ("VPC") at @UPenn
.

This presumably comes after pushback he received for his comments and tone-deaf reposts on social media following Charlie Kirk's assassination a couple of weeks ago, although UPenn officials maintain that Mann's decision to step down was entirely his decision.

However, Mann wrote on his website,

So, that hints otherwise.

Mann remains a distinguished professor and Director of UPenn's Center for Science, Sustainability & the Media.

Here are a few of the Fart Huffer's own comments, and this doesn't include whatever vicious stupidities he retweeted with the élan of a fat man floating through the air as he sniffs the air for a freshly baked pie.

Mann's comments on social media -- including reposting a message that called Kirk "the head of Trump's Hitler Youth" -- faced backlash from prominent conservative pundits and social media commentators, including Sen. Dave McCormick (R-Pa.). The posts have since been deleted.

McCormick's remarks came following a post by Mann that read, "The white on white violence has gotten out of hand." Mann also reposted several posts from other users criticizing Ezra Klein's New York Times column on the event, which was titled "Charlie Kirk Was Practicing Politics the Right Way."

"This is despicable behavior," McCormick wrote on X. "This dangerous rhetoric cannot and will not be tolerated. I unequivocally condemn this behavior and demand UPenn to take immediate, decisive action."

Oh boo hoo hoo: When young, liberal women say they'll never date a conservative man, by which I mean a heterosexual man.

As they get older and more desperate, they become more open to dating an icky conservative interested in sex with women.

But here's the wonderful catch: As conservative men get older, they become less and less interested in dating a liberal.

In other words: As conservative men get older and want more than sex with a friend with benefits, they turn away from promiscuous liberal women and become more and more interested in wife/mother material and less interested in blue-hair nosering basketcases.

The study found that, generally, as liberal women age, they become more open to dating a conservative man. However, their openness with age might all be for nothing.

According to the study, as conservative men get older, they actually become less open to dating a liberal.

8/As it happens, when further broken down by ideological orientation, we observe some evidence that young unmarried female liberal respondents disproportionately drive the difference.
For instance, 64% of young liberal women are opposed and just 12% are willing to date across political lines----rates that are higher and lower, respectively, than any other group (though the small sample sizes for some of these subgroups----e.g. just 15 young male conservative respondents----do warrant some interpretive caution).

9/ More generally, ideological orientation emerges as the most potent predictor of tolerance in our data. As shown below, for each factor tolerance tends to fall at the extremes: 'Very Liberal' and 'Very Conservative' respondents are less tolerant than their 'somewhat' and moderate counterparts. With this being said, liberal respondents are, overall, significantly less willing to engage with people of opposing political views than their conservative peers.

10/ One particularly striking pattern emerges among Very Liberal respondents: they are significantly more willing to engage with ex-felons than political opponents on average, especially when it comes to more intimate contexts.

For example, whereas 29% of very liberals would be willing to date an ex-felon, just 13% would be willing to date someone with opposing political views. Among Very Conservative respondents, the pattern is reversed: 25% say they would date across party lines, while just 10% would date an ex-felon. Fully 67% say they are unwilling to date someone with a criminal history, compared to 46% unwilling to date across political lines.

The thread describing the poll's findings with lots of Pie Graphs is here. Bear in mind I'm a terrible cook so my idea of a "pie graph" may not resemble yours.

This is gonna blow ya minds. It turns out that Kamala Harris is a DEI incompetent who lies as easily as she sits on Willie Brown's face.

Why are Racists, such as myself, saying that Britain is now an Islamic terrorist state?

We have no evidence of this. Besides policemen telling Jews wearing the yarmulke at yet another Muslim protest/riot that they will be arrested if they don't leave a public place because they are "openly Jewish" and being openly Jewish at a Muslim riot could provoke the conquerors.

It's very racist to note actual facts.
