Does the First Amendment Comes with a Racial Disclaimer?

If constitutional rights ever begin to depend on the race of the speaker rather than the content of the law, America will have crossed a dangerous line. The First Amendment was written to protect individuals—not identities. Justice must remain blind, because the moment she peeks beneath the blindfold to see who is standing before her, equal justice under law becomes little more than a slogan.

The Grand Experiment: New York is Rerunning a 100-Year-Old Failure and Calling It Progress. And the Failure is the Feature.

I am a science teacher. So let me start with the one word in this entire disaster that made the hair on my arms stand up.

Experiment.

The mayor of New York City stood in front of a cheering crowd, gestured at a plan to build government-owned grocery stores with taxpayer money, and said — I am paraphrasing, but only barely — may the most affordable grocery store win. He called it a grand experiment. He looked at eight and a half million people and told them it was ABOUT TIME to run one.

Obfuscating Money in Politics: McCain-Feingold, USAID, and the NGO Network

The debate over money in politics is defined by a core tension between the ideals of transparency, privacy, and mandated disclosure. Proponents of robust transparency and disclosure requirements (especially America Firsters) argue that voters have a fundamental right to know who is funding candidates, parties, and issue advocacy, as undisclosed “dark money” from wealthy individuals, corporations, unions, or foreign-linked entities can distort democratic outcomes, enable corruption or undue influence, and facilitate implementation of leftwing policies funded by US taxpayers without authorization or scrutiny. They push for lower reporting thresholds, real-time disclosures, and the closing of loopholes like super PACs and 501(c) organizations to let sunlight act as a disinfectant.

DSA is not in America’s DNA: Democrats are in trouble and they don’t know how to get out

Democrats have a poison called DSA—Democrat Socialists of America—a communist organization that made Mamdani mayor of New York, New York. If communism can make it there, it will make it anywhere, right?

But Democrat officials know voters are rejecting it—for now.

This is Part 2 of a 2-part analysis examining the phenomenon of Democratic Socialism

This is the second part of a two-part analysis that examines a specific historical claim: that the decades-long push of Democratic Socialists of America inside the Democrat Party follows the same “boring from within” logic the Bolsheviks used against the Socialist Revolutionaries and Mensheviks in 1917 — a small, disciplined vanguard using a broader coalition’s legitimacy and infrastructure to gain position, growing more candid about maximalist goals as it consolidates power, with no intention of remaining merely one faction among many.

“Boring From Within”: DSA’s Democrat Party Project Is from the Bolshevik Playbook

The Democratic Socialists of America have achieved some shocking successes in primaries in the US this year, especially in New York and now Denver where a youthful far left radical defeated a 15-term incumbent and member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus.
