Democrats Drag America Into the Mouth of Their Madness |
2025-05-15 |
[JOHNKASSNEWS] Watching the Democrats storm the Immigration and Customs enforcement facility in New Jersey, applauding themselves and singing their creaky old ’60s protest songs like a collection of cos-playing Pete Seegers dressing up as clergy, and threatening the government to protect illegal migrant criminals and gang members, I couldn’t help but think of France. Why France? We’re on our way, aren’t we? Only a moron couldn’t see it. And only a servant of the Democrats—or CNN anchor Jake the Fake Tapper—would watch this and say nothing. Just imagine their current revolutionary princess—Alexandria Ocascio-Cortez— leading the Democrat Party back in the late 1789 at the storming of the Bastille. You can see her there, can’t you? Of course you can. You see it there just as you can see her here. Can’t you? And the French Revolution was born. The lopping off of heads began. They hated Christianity. The Roman Catholic church was in their way, an impediment to their ambition. They were their own gods. They had their slogan, "Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité." The Jacobins of our own time—we call them Democrats—have their slogans and their leaders, full of pride, full of anger, full of rage. And violence. Violence in their rhetoric, violence in their speeches, violence in their imagery. In the France of 1793, not the United States of 2025, they not only believed in the death penalty, they embraced political murder as a nation of zealots. Approximately 16,594 people were officially executed by guillotine, the severed heads raised aloft to the lusty cheers of the mob. According to the World History Encyclopedia, an estimated 10,000 to 12,000 individuals were executed without trial, and some 10,000 died in prison. In France. And in the United States of 2025, the Democratic Jacobins in America, led by their revolutionary princess Alexandria Ocasio Cortes threatens anyone who dares stop them by supporting the law. That’s the key to understanding this political drama now. It’s all about public outrage and performance art, but if and when they grab power in the mid-term elections next year, the heads will roll. As the Federalist’s Todd Bensman reminds us, "Where Was Democrats’ Outrage When Obama and Biden Deported Illegal Alien Housekeepers and Gardeners?" Bensman writes, "...Americans need to be reminded that no such war for their hearts and minds happened when Democrats Joe Biden, Barack Obama, and Bill Clinton collectively deported millions of illegal aliens who also merely worked hard, paid taxes, and stayed out of U.S. prisons and off gang and terrorism intelligence databases. "When Democrats carry out deportations, there is nary a peep of protest from this very same peanut gallery. When the Biden administration secretly air-deported hundreds of thousands of Central American and Haitian mothers with babies in their arms just a couple of years ago, there were no stories planted to spin up a rage machine. Those operations drew no tear-jerking stories in the corporate press — or really, any coverage at all. "And when Biden was vice president, he and Barack Obama practically got a blank media hall pass when they air-deported tens of thousands of unaccompanied illegal alien children back to Central American tarmacs to shut down a surge of those in 2015. Most Americans still don’t even know they did that, not to mention the millions of other non-criminal family members and oft-vaunted "breadwinners" they deported during all eight of their years in office. "And Bill Clinton? His party base lauded him in the mid-1990s when he spearheaded tough deportation-centric legislation known as the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996. "The coming war on Trump’s mere remake of Democratic Party deportation programs lays bare the profound double-standard hypocrisy of the activists waging it along with their partisan media allies who so willfully believe that a unique new MAGA inhumanity is afoot. "It isn’t. This is an old story with new, politically motivated framing." And the political left is always making threats to rally their followers to the barricades before the head lopping can really begin.
So, if you can cut through the whiny sentimental weeping and AOC’s drama-queen bit, and the old Pete Seegar protest songs outside that ICE facility in New Jersey, what do you find? A ravenous appetite for power. Pure power. Who are the Democrats fighting for? The child rapists? The murderers? The gangbangers? The sex-traffickers? The beasts who murdered and raped the young nurse in Georgia, Laken Riley and the mother of five in Maryland, Rachel Morin. And beasts like these also sexually assaulted and murdered Jocelyn Nungaray, a 12-year-old American girl in Texas. Former President Joe Biden opened the American borders and let in between 12 million to 20 million of these illegal criminal migrants. The corporate legacy media lied for Biden and they gaslit other concerned Americans. They harassed anyone who cried out and called them fascists. Biden and the Democrats let in the worst of the worst. And now AOC and the others threaten us with more violence. This is who they are. They’re showing all of us. All who are of the left are doing anything they can to stop the lawful deportation of the criminals. That is who the Democrat Party have become. It’s more than idiotic political theater. It is dangerous and stomach turning. All you have to do is look up the French revolution. The ICE facility in Newark isn’t the Bastille, but they’d like it to be. It works for them. According to the left wing news site Politico: "Newark Mayor Ras Baraka’s Friday arrest fired up liberal Democrats in and outside of New Jersey, turning his hours in federal custody into a political moment for progressives and the region’s immigration activists while boosting the mayor’s national profile as he runs for governor. "Free Ras Baraka! Free Ras Baraka!" protesters chanted for hours outside the federal facility where Baraka was held Friday. He’d been arrested earlier that day at another protest outside an immigration detention center on a trespassing charge. By the time he was released that night, a wave of support had formed following his arrest, which came after armed federal officers got involved in a scrum with three members of Congress who were seeking to tour a new Trump administration Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility in Newark, Delaney Hall." It’s obvious that the Democrats think they’re above the law. Baraka is using this to launch his New Jersey campaign for governor. What is the cost? "Democrats across the country have major trouble following that "no one is above the law" precept they keep invoking — as witness multiple recent scuffles as the left goes to bat for illegal immigrants," argues The New York post in an editorial. "First up, at New Jersey’s Delaney Hall Detention Center — which houses border-jumpers accused of crimes ranging from rape to murder — Reps. Robert Menendez Jr. and LaMonica McIver got into an altercation with ICE agents as McIver tried to force her way into the facility. "Also protesting was Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, who ended up in cuffs and custody for his part in the fracas." Menendez, son of the corrupt Senator, went on TV this weekend, insanely, to blame the immigration enforcement officers he and his colleagues went after. In the view of the Democrat Jacobin Party, every criminal and thug who crossed our border illegally deserves to stay here forever and hoover up infinite tax dollars. "And Democrats get to do whatever they want, whenever they want, with zero consequences ever or else it’s fascism," says the Post. Stupidity is not only reserved for Democrats. The corrupt and craven Republican establishment led for years by China supporter Sen. Mitch McConnel is on its last legs. Consider his ally, the Republican fool from North Carolina, Sen. Tom Tillis. "Tom Tillis is part of an establishment GOP that now has waning power, has waning influence in Washington. And this is sort of the last gasp of the Mitch McConnell wing of the GOP that’s slowly disappearing," Federalist Senior Editor John Daniel Davidson said on Newsmax. "It’s, frankly, to me, disgusting to hear someone like Tillis say that he opposes Ed Martin because he defended defendants on January 6th, when one of our own Founding Fathers, John Adams, defended British soldiers who killed American patriots. Offering legal defense for the accused is not disqualifying. If anything, it shows Ed Martin’s commitment to the rule of law, as does the pardons that freed up resources in the DOJ to go after actual violent criminals in Washington, DC." Yes, the Democrats are power mad, and determined to destroy our nation because they hate it. And Republicans like Tillis and McConnel? I’ve seen the spineless half of the bi-partisan combine destroy a great state of Illinois. For Illinois and Chicago there is no reprieve, no sanctuary. The Combine chopped Chicago and Illinois to bits, and sold off the scrap. Just as they will destroy America herself. Think of 1793 and now think of 2025. There is only one responsible thing to do: See them clearly for who they are and what they want. And vote like the life of your nation depends upon it. Because it does. Let’s hope the American people wake up and wash their eyes before the 2026 mid-term elections, so they might save the country. If they don’t save it, at least polish the face-cages for the rats. And polish up Madame Guillotine. Because I think she’ll be busy, |

Biden and the Dems Are Skipping Straight to the Final Stage of Socialism |
2022-09-04 |
[PJ] In Marxist theory, the final stage of socialism is true communism, when everyone shares of his or her resources equally, the state withers away, and true justice finally dawns upon the earth. We never have seen that stage and never will, because Marxism is rancid pseudo-religious hogwash that runs directly contrary to human nature. The real final stage of socialism is what we saw in the last ten years of the Soviet Union: an entrenched, all-encompassing, corrupt and inefficient state bureaucracy nominally presided over by a succession of senescent, barely-there incompetents. With his disgraceful descent into open authoritarianism Thursday evening, Old Joe Biden and the Democrats signaled their intention to skip right to that final stage: they’ve already got the doddering figurehead and the ravenous bureaucracy firmly in place. During the first stages of socialism in Russia right after the Bolshevik revolution, the new workers’ paradise appeared from the outside, where the gulags weren’t so easy to see, to be youthful, dynamic, and promising. The American journalist Lincoln Steffens visited Soviet Russia in 1919 and was enthusiastic, declaring: "I have seen the future, and it works." Other American intellectuals visited the Soviet Union and were likewise enthused; the New York Times’ Walter Duranty was so enamored of the place that he willfully covered up evidence of Stalin’s Ukrainian famine so that Times readers wouldn’t get a negative view of the new Russia. This sort of thing went on for years. Two decades later, with the U.S. on the brink of entering World War II, three young folk singers named Pete Seeger, Woody Guthrie, and Josh White, who called themselves the Almanac Singers, recorded Songs for John Doe, an album of peace songs. This was the time of the Nazi-Soviet pact, and as Seeger, Guthrie, and White were all hardcore Communists, they didn’t want the U.S. joining any war against Stalin’s ally Hitler. Hitler soon betrayed Stalin and invaded the Soviet Union, and suddenly these pacifists were passionate for the war and able to pose as patriots. For decades, Seeger, Guthrie, and multitudes of others worked tirelessly to make the Soviet Union and Marxism chic among American Leftists. It worked. The Soviet Union itself, meanwhile, was governed first by Lenin and then by Stalin. Both were unscrupulous, inhuman, murderous thugs, and both remained in power only by ruthless reigns of terror and cults of personality that made them into gods more efficiently and comprehensively than any Roman emperor was ever deified. Even today, in post-Soviet Russia, Lenin is respected, and Stalin is revered. Lenin’s Tomb is still situated prominently in the Kremlin and gets a million visitors a year. Not far from it are the much more modest graves of most of the other Soviet leaders; Stalin’s is the only one that Russian visitors regularly decorate with flowers. |

Seeger, Guthrie join Wall Street protest |
2011-10-23 |
[Emirates 24/7] ![]() Seeger joined in the Occupy Wall Street protest Friday night, replacing his banjo with two canes as he marched with throngs of people in New York City's tony Upper West Side past banks and shiny department stores. The 92-year-old Seeger shouted out the verses of protest anthems as the crowd of about 1,000 people sang and chanted. But some residents complain of protesters urinating in the streets and beating drums in the middle of the night. Some are calling for the protesters to vacate the park. |

Famous elderly folk singer who's not dead endorses boycott of Israel |
2011-03-04 |
Answer to today's trivia question: Pete Seeger is NOT dead... JERUSALEM (Ma'an) -- New York City folks singer Pete Seeger announced his support for the Palestinian movement for Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions against Israel last week, the Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions and Adalah said in a statement. Moshe, Pete Seeger supports the boycott. Pete Seeger? He's NOT dead? Really? The 92-year-old singer made the news public at his home in New York, saying "I support the BDS movement as much as I can," Yes, I think we already know Pete suffers from BDS... and telling reporters that a virtual rally hosted by Friends of the Arava Institute, an Israeli environmental organization ICHAD says is closely partnered with the Jewish National Fund, did not mean he supported JNF activities. I support them. But I don't support them. I like tapioca. And butterscotch pudding. Speaking alongside Seeger, coordinator of ICAHD Jeff Halper, said "Pete did extensive research on this. He read historical and current material and spoke to neighbors, friends, and three rabbis before making his decision to support the boycott movement against Israel. ...and we figured we'd better get him on the record before he forgot. Or died. |

Old Style Communist Irwin Silber Now Punchin' Chunks | |
2010-10-05 | |
Former Communist Party member and champion of the socialist folk-song movement Irwin Silber passed away on September 8 in Oakland, California, from complications of Alzheimer's disease. Geez, he went out not even knowing he was a good commie. How sad. Well...not really. Born in Manhattan, New York on October 17, 1925, Silber grew up in in New York City's working-class Jewish Community. He joined the ranks of the Communist Party USA's youth wing, the Young Communist League, followed by joining the party proper. As a student at Brooklyn College, Silber organized the American Folksay Group, and through his associations with the likes of Pete Seeger and Alan Lomax, Silber became an integral part of Seeger's post-war People's Songs organization. This was an independent artist-run collective, which published the songs of veteran left-wing folksingers. In the late 1950s, Silber had the dubious honor of being called up before the House Un-American Activities Committee where he was questioned regarding his involvement in the Communist Party's Jefferson School of Social Science. By the 1960s, Silber had severed all ties with the Communist Party and later become a driving force in the ultra leftist Students for a Democratic Society and later still in the Maoist leaning New Communist Movement, Sounds like a he had a serious case of "Not Communist Enough"... Silber wrote for and edited the Maoists main journal, The Guardian, which was published between 1948 and 1992 in New York City. In 1970 Students for a Democratic Society member Max Elbaum and Irwin Silber were founders of a one of the "second wave" new communist groups, the pro-Mao Tse Tung, Line of March. When Line of March disbanded in 1989, Elbaum and Silber went on to work as editors for the Institute for Social and Economic Studies-sponsored magazine, CrossRoads, until 1996 when it too folded. No money in it, I guess... In 1976, Silber attended the Weather Underground and Prairie Fire Organizing Committee - organized Hard Times Conference which was held at the University of Chicago. In 1990, Silber attended and spoke in a panel entitled "Developments in the USSR and Eastern Europe and their Significance for Western Europe and the US Left" at the Socialist Scholars Conference, held in New York. Frontline, the organization he had founded, sponsored the panel. Also speaking on the panel were Phyllis Bennis, Frontline; Donald Sassoon from the University of London, and key Democratic Socialists of America member, Joanne Barkan. Once again, in 1992, Silber again spoke at the Socialist Scholar's Conference. This time he spoke on a panel entitled "92 Elections & Left Electoral Strategies panel" alongside Ellen David-Freidman, Progressive Vermont Alliance; colleague Max Elbaum, Managing Editor, CrossRoads; Robert Fitrakis, Columbus Democratic Socialists of America; and former Communist Party member, James Steele. The panel was sponsored by CrossRoads. A veritable who's-who of "Commie Legends in Their Own Minds"... In 1992, Silber endorsed the Committees of Correspondence national conference entitled the Conference on Perspectives for Democracy and Socialism in the 90s which was held at Berkeley California. Committees of Correspondence for Democracy and Socialism began in 1991 when approximately one third of the Communist Party USA membership split from the party to form a new organization. Most of Silber's old Line of March comrades joined Committees of Correspondence. In its last days days Line of March had moved to a pro Soviet, pro Gorbachev position, which matched that of many of the so called called Communist Party reformers. By 1995, Silber was a member of Solidarity, an independent Socialist organization - dedicated to forming "a broad regrouping of the U.S. left". In January 2002, Irwin Silber was one of those to endorse a new national anti-Iraq War newspaper entitled War Times. The publication was founded by a group of San Francisco leftists, mainly involved with the neo Maoist Standing Together to Organize a Revolutionary Movement or Committees of Correspondence. The publication is funded by the Center for Third World Organizing, a "racial-justice organization" that aims to build a social-justice movement led by people of color. Well...I suppose it beat working for a living, eh, Irwin? Former Obama Green Jobs Czar Van Jones was a key member of War Times and STORM and had long been cultivated by Silber's colleagues from the Bay Area Line of March/Committees of Correspondence. Without Irwin Silber, Van Jones would probably have never risen above abusing cops on the streets of San Francisco. A lifetime spent worshiping evil. So long, Irwin. Try not to make the worms puke...

Columnist calls on rap stars, Paris Hilton to lead revolution |
2007-07-09 |
Instead of a celebration of independence, maybe we need a celebration of unity. Maybe we need a massive weeklong Impeach Cheney and Take Back America rally in front of the White House, fueled by celebrities, and heavily promoted by the media, who owe us one big time. Maybe we need Bono and Brad and Angelina there, to focus on the crisis in America and not the crisis in Africa, at least for a few months. James Lileks comments: It's like a neutron star of inanity, that line; like a neutron star, it collapses into a dot so dense that the editor's pen is forever stuck on the event horizon, unable to move forward and cross it out. Maybe we need Martha Stewart and Paris Hilton there, because no one says "reality based" and "superior intellect" quite like Paris Hilton to call on Scooter to do his time like a man. Maybe we need the Dixie Chicks and White Stripes there, and George Clooney and Oprah, and any of the so-called "American Idols" and Tiger Woods and Michael Jordan there, and the younger sports stars and TV stars and rap stars and celebs I've never heard of, to put down their cell phones and Mohitos and hie their well-heeled fannies to D.C. I can imagine the recording sessions now: "Yo! Check it out! George Dubya Bush, he a son of a bitch He an' Dick Cheney otta be im-pitched--" "CUT! You're pronouncing it wrong. It's im=peach, not im-pitch." "'Peach' don't rhyme with 'bitch,' ho!" Maybe we need James Earl Jones, the voice of Darth Vader, to speak truth to power, and Maya Angelou to speak strength to cowardice, and for old time's sake, Pete Seeger to lead us in a chorus of Woody Guthrie's "This Land is Your Land," sparklers and flags all around. |

Once a Moonbat, Always A Moonbat.... |
2005-07-17 |
NOTE: I grew up listening to the Kingston Trio, the Highwaymen, and The Weavers, Pete Seeger's group. The Weavers were great folksingers. Unfortunately, as political commentators, they really had their heads up their collective asses. And don't let the 'victim of McCarthyism' meme throw you, Mr. Seeger has has a VERY long and profitble career. EFL's, RTWT. Mike For people with a particular taste in music, Pete Seeger is still a cultural icon. For too many others, mentioning his name gets a blank look and a question: "Is he related to Bob?" Well, no. Pete (he insists on being called Pete) was one of the creators of modern folk music. He's in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Songs that he wrote, helped write or helped make famous include "If I Had a Hammer," "We Shall Overcome," "Turn, Turn, Turn" and "Where Have All the Flowers Gone?" Music is not Pete's only legacy, though. As he puts it, he was a lefty. Actually, he was a member of the Communist Party USA in the 1930s and early 1940s, and he sang at Communist rallies and events. Fifty years ago this summer, on Aug. 25, 1955, he became a target for the House Un-American Activities Committee, a committee of the U.S. House of Representatives that was a creature of the Red Scare. HUAC called dozens of entertainers, politicians and businesspeople and grilled them about any contacts with communism. Pete is 86. He's still a lefty, viewing with alarm the war in Iraq, dehumanizing technology and the power of oligarchies. He still lives on a mountaintop near Beacon, N.Y., that he and his wife, Toshi, bought 60 years ago. His singing voice is almost gone, but he's still performing. And he's still happy to find an audience, whether it's a school full of kids or one inquisitive reporter who dropped in on Pete in Beacon, the day before his annual Strawberry Shortcake Festival. Question: How did you learn that you had been called to testify? Answer: I was standing out there in the parking lot of this little house and barn. A man parked and got out and said, "Are you Pete Seeger?" Handed me an envelope. Well, I opened the envelope and called out, "Toshi, they finally got around to me." I was just a little-known folkie. Question: Why not simply answer the committee's questions? Answer: This is what [my] lawyer told me. He said, if you answer about your own past politics you're going to have to answer the question, "Did you know so-and-so, who was a Communist?" and so on. And in effect I said, "I'll tell you anything you want to know about myself, but I'm not going to testify about anybody else." Question: How did you become a communist? Answer: I joined the Young Communist league in 1937 in college -- because Hitler was helping Franco take over Spain. And [Maxim] Litvinov stood up in the League of Nations â he was the Soviet representative in the League of Nations â and said all aggressors should be quarantined, that is, boycotted. He was talking about Japan in Manchuria, Italy in Ethiopia and Hitler and Franco and so on. Well, they just laughed. Question: But didn't Stalin turn out to be one of the worst despots of the 20th century? Answer: Well, when it comes to big ones. But there's bad ones all over. And, you know, for 50 years, the United States has helped control the politics of Latin America. And they have the School of the Americas, they call it, in Fort Benning, Ga. Training military â Latin American military men â how to torture, how to massacre, how to assassinate. Question: But the U.S.S.R. really was an enemy of the U.S.A., yes? Answer: Not necessarily. The communists claimed, I won't say they all believed it, that they would encourage revolutions all around the world. But the people of each country had to make their own revolution. It wasn't Soviet soldiers helping Mao Zedong take over China. They could applaud them and perhaps even help them. But they didn't likewise in Vietnam or Cuba. Question: You refused to answer questions about Communist Party events that you had played at. What if the investigators today wanted to question someone they thought had performed at an al-Qaeda fund raiser? Answer: That's an interesting thing. It's almost laughable. Anything is possible, though. I'd say, "If you are accusing me of that, I demand a trial with my right to question witnesses." Question: As was true in the 1950s, these are fearful times. Are we living in more or less dangerous times than 50 years ago? Answer: In some ways the danger is more now â the danger of misinformation being spread across the country in seconds. There's so much money behind the present administration, they can literally do anything they want. They can break up any one organization or any one person. What are they going to do about millions, though? Millions of good organizations. Millions of good little things. |

Senator Zoop |
2004-04-15 |
Link via Viking Pundit Kerry Gets the Picture. Up! Up! And away. Go far, far away, please... Sometimes a photo opportunity is more than a photo opportunity. Profound thinker, this wanker. On Wednesday, when Senator Um, maybe it is just a photo op? Mr. Kerry, meanwhile, got a quick lesson in how to relate to children, courtesy of his fellow junior senator. "That son of a bitch just drooled on me!" Mr. Kerry, who is often faulted as failing to connect to ...the same Pete Seeger who was a 60âs radical hippie musician? The apple doesnât fall far from the tree, does it? a book about a giant tamed by an African boy and his father, whose magic wand makes the giant disappear. Mr. Kerry, whose daughters are long since grown, kept neglecting to show the children the pictures. And the Left complains about Bush needing coaching? Luckily, he was sitting at the feet of a former first lady. "John, make sure he can see that," Mrs. Clinton prompted at one point. "John, turn it around one more time," she said later, asking the children, "Can you see?" "John, can I be your running mate?" Mr. Kerry obliged, but still seemed to have politics on the brain as he narrated the story of the magic wand â "Zoop!" â making things disappear. "I could go zoop! and Republicans would disappear," he said. Civil, well reasoned discourse, or the inadvertent slip of the tongue showing his latent fascist tendencies? Discuss. A few moments later, Mrs. Clinton provided a graceful exit. Somehow the words âClintonâ and âgracefulâ donât jibe too well in the same sentence... "We have to disappear," she told the boys and girls. My thoughts exactly. |
