Nexus X HumectressWarren fully drops M4A in shameless bid for VP slot
Lizzie the Scamster keeps on conniving. Editor-At-Large of Jacobin magazine, David Sirota, discusses Elizabeth Warren’s pivot on Medicare for All in a bid to try to win Biden’s VP.
Biden team floats ‘Snow Woman’ Amy Klobuchar as VP
The Neoliberal Party’s dream team? Krystal and Saagar discuss reports that Biden has asked Sen. Amy Klobuchar to undergo vetting as his possible running mate.
Yang issues DIRE warning on economy, calls for federal jobs program
Yang had the best economic analysis of any of the presidential candidates (not that he really had any competition). But I don’t agree with him and others who are calling for a “federal jobs program.” Reparations from the ruling class, yes. Make work on the king’s and lord’s […]
Lib writer says she’d vote Biden if he ‘Boiled babies and ate them’
Don’t give him any ideas. Krystal’s commentary in this is pretty good. She talks about how Team Blue and Team Red have come to literally regard each other as existential enemies. This is the “Flight 93 Election” article from the Claremont Review of Books they are referring to. […]
Biden tells Breakfast Club ‘You ain’t black’ if you consider voting Trump
This is like a parody of Dinesh D’souza’s “Democrats are the real racists” agitprop. Krystal and Saagar discuss Joe Biden’s interview on the Breakfast Club with Charlamagne tha god where Biden says, “If you got a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or for Trump then you […]
Life and Death in a Troubled Teen Boot Camp
Kids die in these places. By Jesse Hyde Rolling Stone In the darkness of early morning, 16-year-old Bruce Staeger lay splayed across his mattress, sleeping soundly for once. Most nights, he would smoke a blunt and crash, but not this one. Lately, his mother had been watching him […]
Masks come off as elite media, deep state go ALL IN for Joe
Of course. The Neoliberal Party doesn’t want a Duterte-lite managing their assets, and they want to deflect the faux populists and faux leftists in the process.
Mr. Anarchist – An Interview with Keith Preston
Listen here. Andrew, Jay, Stratty, and Tim sit down with Keith Preston, author of books such as Attack the System, The Tyranny of the Politically Correct, and Beyond the End of History, to have a discussion about different forms of anarchism, his history as an activist, his outlook […]
26-Year-Old EMT Shot 8 Times by Louisville Police
Breonna Taylor, who was working as an EMT in Kentucky when the coronavirus pandemic started, was reportedly killed after being shot 8 times by police who mistakenly entered her apartment. Her family is filing a lawsuit accusing the officers of wrongful death, excessive force, and gross negligence. Back in March, […]
Build the Drag ‘Em All Party!
These are the 37 Senators that voted to let the FBI seize your internet history without a warrant
Notice that the majority of these 37 scumbags are Republicans (plus some corporate Democrats like Mark Warner and Tim Kaine), which shows how seriously they take their rhetoric about “limited government.” And the great man of the people, Bernie Sanders, didn’t even bother to vote on this. By […]

Why Does the Left Favor Lockdowns?
Tom Woods interviews Thaddeus Russell on left-wing support for scientistic therapeutic totalitarianism. Listen here. ————————————————— It’s been quite remarkable to me the extent to which the lockdowns have divided people along ideological lines. A left-wing case against lockdown seems so easy to make and so obvious, and yet […]
House Arrest=Good Health? Maybe Not
School? “Hell, No, We Won’t Go!”
It seems like it would be best to just forget about the whole school thing for now.
Bernie MUZZLES his own delegates on Biden criticism
Sanders seems to have three motivations: 1) he doesn’t want to be seen as a “spoiler” like Ralph Nader; 2) he thinks he might actually be able to exercise influence on a Biden administration, and 3) he probably views this as the equivalent of KPD/SPD unity against the […]
NOT ONE Bernie person has been hired by Biden
Biden is not going to “hire” Bernie people any more than he is going to hire Trump people. As I said, there are three parties now.
MSNBC’s Mika goes FULL KAREN, tries to get Trump banned from Twitter
If I had a daughter being born right now, I don’t think I would name her “Karen.” Mika’s comments also need to be considered in light of who her father was. Krystal and Saagar discuss Mika Brzezinski’s tweet that states she is reaching out to Twitter about policies […]
NYT’s Biden ‘Dream Team’ Cabinet FULL of Wall Streeters, Republicans
The New York Times’ “dream Cabinet” reaffirms my view that there are now essentially three political parties in the US: neoliberals, Trumpists, and social democrats. Notice how this NYT “dream Cabinet” includes both Democraps and Repugnicans, but all of the figures mentioned are neoliberals. What I see happening […]
The “Anarchistically Correct” Position on the US Civil War?
Since plenty of Americans, left and right, still seem to be hung up on the Civil War and its legacy, perhaps the following Wikipedia description of the early individualist-anarchist Lysander Spooner’s position on the Civil War would be helpful, i.e. support for the abolition of slavery with parallel […]
Trump, GOP Faces ELECTORAL DOOM If They Don’t Protect Workers
Dementia Man is assuming the lead over Orange Man. Trump’s faux economic populism is the only reason he won in 2016. If he can’t hold on to that and allows Biden to win the “economy first” vote, he’s finished. On the economic questions, I’m generally in favor of […]
CNN Host Whines About Mean Trump Supporters As The Economy Implodes
Kyle calls out the media sector of the new clerisy. This is good.

Colorado man shoots Waffle House cook who asked him to wear a face mask
Another “culture war” issue to bring the psychopaths out of the baseboards. By Travis Gettys Raw Story A Colorado man shot a Waffle House worker who asked him to wear a face mask inside the restaurant.
Gee thanks, government!
Why aren’t they being offered extra pay to go where they are needed?
Hey, hey, ho, ho! Gunophobia has got to go!
Their “gunophobia” is probably one of the most disgusting things about “progressives.”
Man in Singapore Sentenced to Death by Hanging Via Zoom Call
Believe it or not, there are “right-wing libertarians” (including folks who ought to know better) who think Singapore, an actual fascist state, is a praiseworthy libertarian society because “muh low taxes, man!” Singapore jails political dissidents and executes petty drug offenders. Interestingly, Singapore is a multicultural society with […]
A conservative appreciation of labor unions
I don’t agree with this author’s perspective on a number of things, but there are some great points in this article. Instead of focusing on traditional issues like wages, hours, and working conditions, the AFL-CIO suddenly found itself sponsoring college teach-ins, as Matt Labash noted, featuring panelists like […]
Christian Evangelicals Dying at Alarming Rate of Corona
One thing that Marxist-Leninist fundamentalist Jason Unruhe regrettably ignores in this commentary is that Christian evangelicals tend to be disproportionately concentrated among the poor and working-class (including both whites and minorities) and are therefore the people most likely to be in “essential jobs” and less able to practice […]
Anti-Internet Surveillance Bill FAILS by ONE Vote.. GUESS WHO DIDN’T VOTE
The Republicans once again remind us of why they’re total scumbags, and Bernie Sanders reminds us of why social democrats are useless.

Politics (with Kim Iversen)
Joshua and Ryan discuss local, national, and international politics; outrage and divisiveness in the current political climate; and the quagmire of disarray and turmoil created by tribalism and partisan politics with journalist and podcaster Kim Iversen.

House Dems Back Off Of Student Debt Relief
Imagine that. The student loan industry is a nationalized, state-run industry functioning in collusion with the banksters and the educationist wing of the new clerisy. Not being dischargeable through bankruptcy, student loans are modern-day indentured servitude. No way they’re going to give up that win-win scenario for the […]
Tucker breaks down the contenders to be Joe Biden’s running mate
Carlson’s tirade against the empty skirts that are trying to be the next Mike Pence (what a weenie that one is) is somewhat amusing. The election coming up is interesting but not for the reasons that are usually stated. The Republican Party elites seem generally satisfied with Trump […]
“Autonomy Versus Secession”?: An Example of How Anarcho-Progressives Fail
This article is an excellent demonstration of why the “anarcho-left” fails. Not everything said in this is “wrong,” and not every point being made is worthless, but it’s mostly just the standard mainstream “progressive” narrative with an anarchistic gloss. Most telling of all is that there is no […]
Krystal and Saagar Dissect: The Left says Josh Hawley is a fake populist
This is a pretty good critique of “culture war” politics but what they’re missing is that the “culture war” is primarily a rivalry within the middle-class, which is exploited by the ruling class, and where “both sides” regard working class issues as merely peripheral, if something they have […]
Britain First leader Paul Golding convicted of terror offence
Regrettably, a lot of our “progressives,” “civil libertarians,” and even “anarchists” will probably go along with this because he was such a fascist baddie n’all. By Lizzie Deardon The Independent The leader of far-right organisation Britain First has been convicted of a terror offence. Paul Golding refused to […]
Terror suspects could face indefinite curbs under new legislation
BBC Court orders restricting the movements of suspected terrorists could be renewed indefinitely under new legislation unveiled by the government. The bill would lower the standard of proof to impose the orders, known as TPims, and remove the current two-year limit that applies to them. Suspects would also […]

Listen here. Debbie Bookchin is a widely-published journalist and author whose work has appeared in The Atlantic, The New York Times, The Boston Globe, The Nation, and numerous other publications. She served as press secretary to Bernie Sanders when he served in the U.S. House and she recently […]
How cable news BRAINWASHED liberals into abandoning their values
Right on, Krystal. The liberals that I remember from the 70s and 80s, whatever their flaws, were generally antiwar/anti-imperialist (Southeast Asia, Central America), pro-poor and working-class (despite the limitations of their welfarism and business unionism), pro-civil liberties (e.g. sexual revolutionaries and pro-free speech even for the Skokie Nazis), […]
The Conspiracy Theorists Are Winning
The problem with David’s analysis in this is that he seems fairly subjective and one-dimensional in his criticisms of “conspiracy theories.” The fact that the last three years of cable news (excluding FOX) was devoted to Russiagate hysteria shows that liberals and the Left are just as prone […]
17 Things We Don’t Know—And Shouldn’t Pretend To Know—About COVID-19
By Dr. Lissa Rankin, MD A few days ago on Facebook, I made a casual comment questioning part of the dominant narrative (that the anti-viral remdesivir is indeed worthy of Dr. Fauci’s optimism and a lightning speed rush to FDA approval.) A physician and medical director challenged me, […]
Estimating The Infection Fatality Rate Among Symptomatic COVID-19 Cases In The United States
According to this new study, while about 1 in 1000 people who get the ordinary flu actually die, with COVID-19 it’s about 1.2 per 100 of symptomatic cases. So COVID-19 is roughly 10 times more deadly than the conventional flu. Health Affairs Knowing the infection fatality rate (IFR) […]

Rojava: statelessness in a time of pandemic
By Anya Briya Open Democracy The Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES), commonly known as Rojava, has illuminated the plight of the stateless—even though statelessness in the AANES’s case defies the narrow definition of international law. Despite comprising almost a third of Syrian territory, the AANES […]
