Ocasio-Cortez is accusing incumbent Joe Crowley of planning a third party campaign against her because his name is going to appear on the ballot for a third party. If they are so sure her politics as a democratic socialist are what the people want why are they so worried about Joe Crowley being on the ticket? Crowley says he is not running but refuses to have his name removed from the ballot. Coul...

A new bill proposed in the House called "unmasking Antifa" seeks to make it illegal to disguise yourself while depriving someone of their rights. Even though this law targets Antifa it would in turn work against any group regardless of politics.

News Companies know that women share more content than men, use social media more, and that people are primarily motivated to share if something makes them angry. Many news sites seem to push stories that would make women feel like victims. The reason may be simple, it will generate shares and make them money.

Justin Trudeau was accused of sexual assault stemming back from a story published nearly 20 years ago. He at first denied the allegations but then stated that the woman experienced the situation differently from him and apologized. This is another instance of the purity test. Often people's careers and livelihood can be destroyed over accusations and they don't recover. So will this be bad for Tru...

The Far left is calling for no borders and an end to immigration and customs enforcement. With the win of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez many mainstream democrats have embraced some of the far-left rhetoric. The Democratic Socialists of America are calling for no borders, most Americans won't get behind that and with Dems now embracing similar rhetoric I have to wonder if the far-left is actually helpin...

Anthony Kennedy has announced his retirement and the left is freaking out. Kennedy is seen as a swing vote who has sided with some pretty impactful left wing issues. But with his departure Trump has his second chance to nominate a supreme court justice. The left has responded in the obvious way, yelling and swearing, but the right has also responded in an obvious way, gloating. SUPPORT JOURNALISM....

A Democratic Socialist has just defeated 10 term incumbent Joe Crowley. This isn't the first time a socialist has held a seat in congress but it is an upset considering the massive difference in campaigns and experience. Crowley outspent Cortez 10 to 1 but still lost in the primary. However, I think this may backfire on the left as many people find socialism too far left and might move to the repu...

Rhetoric about the 2nd civil war is escalating. A mainstream funded website has even gone so far as to advocate for things to become more extreme.

The ACLU has been backing away from free speech in areas where it could impact marginalized communities. A memo was recently leaked showing that not only will they take "special consideration" when dealing with certain speech but they won't support being armed at a rally either.

To discuss how this happened and why and if the SPLC is really at risk I joined Lawyer Will Chamberlain to discuss legal issues surrounding defamation and why the SPLC caved to such high demands...

The social justice left defines racism as "prejudice plus power" and by this definition Affirmative action is racist. I'm not talking about "reverse racism" or whatever nonsense they want to call it, I'm talking about Asian people being penalized simply for being Asian even though they are one of the smallest demographics in the US. So if the dominant culture is oppressing a minority culture why i...
