I Read the DSA’s Entire 2026 Platform and Mapped 10 Years of It Onto My Life in Ohio

A student asked me a question last spring that I still can’t shake.

We were finishing a unit, and I had gone off on one of my tangents (my students will tell you this happens roughly every eleven minutes). I was talking about how republics fall. Not with armies. With paperwork. A girl in the third row put her hand up and asked, very quietly, “Mr. Bski, could that happen here?”

I gave her the teacher answer. I said our system was built to make it very, very hard.

Individualism Versus Collectivism is on the Ballot This Year: Defeating democratic socialists is imperative

Six years ago, the rise of the “Bernie bros” supporting avowed socialist candidate Bernie Sanders (I-VT) raised the question of whether decades of soft indoctrination about the “horrors” of capitalism by the Democrat-media complex and the oft-promised but never delivered benefits of socialism had finally produced enough voters willing to elect their way out of free enterprise.

Highlights of the Week with Don Surber

Don Surber escorts us through another week of the media’s treatment what it considers news. We need this reporting on the media or we’d never know what was actually going on. 

ITEM 1: The New York Times reported, “Harry and Meghan Will Move Back to Britain After 6 Years in U.S.”

Two more self-deportations for Trump (4 counting the kids).

“Our Constitution Was Made Only For A Moral And Religious People, It Is Wholly Inadequate To The Government Of Any Other”

“Our Constitution Was Made Only For A Moral And Religious People, It Is Wholly Inadequate To The Government Of Any Other”

Steve contrasts the generation who fought the revolution & gave us our precious US Constitution & Bill of Rights with the generation who is now trying to replace it with Sharia law & Communism. George laments how 75% of Christians are giving tacit permission to The Left to destroy our society & our nation because they don’t vote.

Is Ohio Dem House Candidate Leonard Lying to Keep His DSA Under a Bushel?

In King James’ version of the Bible – in Matthew 5:15-16 – Jesus says:

“Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.”

Jesus was encouraging us to not hide from the world our skills and good qualities. But to instead allow them to shine in the open – and illuminate the world for everyone.

It’s not too big of a stretch to apply Jesus’ parable to what’s currently going on with the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) – and Ohio’s 15th Congressional district.

AOC is DOA Via DSA

AOC, when accused of being a socialist, had this to say: “Can I tell you a secret? Most people don’t really know what capitalism is; most people don’t even know what socialism is. But most people are not capitalist because they don’t have capitalist money. They’re not billionaires.”

Dear Trump & Kudlow: This Is Not ‘A Golden Age.’ Your Delusions Fuel the Rise of the Democrat Socialists (DSA)

Yesterday – on Sunday, because the Internet never rests? I received in my inbox an op-ed from Larry Kudlow.

For those of you who don’t know…:

“Lawrence Alan Kudlow is an American conservative broadcast news analyst, economist, columnist, journalist, political commentator, and radio personality. He is a financial news commentator for Fox Business and served as the director of the National Economic Council during the Trump administration from 2018 to 2021.”

I’ve met Larry. He is a very nice guy.

That said: Kudlow is a standard-issue Washington, DC center-right economy guy. He is exactly the type of Republican economist – that is killing the Republican Party.

Kudlow’s economic messaging – is the Republicans’ economic messaging. And it is more tone deaf than a year’s worth of nationwide karaoke contests.

Marxists v. Muslims: The next American civil war may not involve any Americans

American pundits are predicting a new civil war between the red states and the blue states. That’s cute but the nation is already under a two-headed attack by Marxists and Muslims. We should worry about that because if they win, the battle royale will be between Red China and Iran over who gets to rule the scraps that are left of a once mighty American empire that fed the world.

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.
