When people used to speak of America’s Marxist drift, they pointed their fingers at New York City, Portland, San Francisco, maybe Los Angeles. Today, however, one state—and one city within it—outflanks them all in ideological extremism: Minnesota, and its capital of chaos, Minneapolis.What was once the image of quiet Midwestern moderation has become the epicenter of a radically left-wing, grievance-driven, soft-authoritarian culture, anchored not in reason or responsibility, but in resentment and pseudo-revolution.The political and cultural degeneration of Minnesota isn’t an isolated phenomenon—it’s a cautionary tale of how quickly a seemingly well-meaning state can descend into institutional capture by the radical Left, the bureaucratic Marxists masquerading as “progressives,” and their coalition of street agitators, racial entrepreneurs, and NGO-dependent “activists.”The eruption of violence in Minneapolis in 2020 following the death of George Floyd was not an “uprising,” as revisionist politicians later branded it—it was an abdication of governance. What began as legitimate outrage over perceived police use of force spiraled, within hours, into an urban warzone. Police precincts were torched. Small businesses—many minority-owned—were looted and burned to ashes. Residents were terrorized. And in the backdrop, Mayor Jacob Frey and Governor Tim Walz watched with deer-in-headlights paralysis, delivering press conferences filled with hollow rhetoric about “listening” and “healing” while their city spiraled into anarchy.Rather than enforce order, these leaders appeared more afraid of offending the mob than of failing their citizens. Their capitulation wasn’t just cowardice—it was the ideological decay of postmodern Marxism at work. The revolutionary Left thrives on chaos; order and law are “instruments of oppression.” In Minneapolis, for the first time in modern American history, we saw local government essentially side with the forces of disorder, under the guise of “justice.”Fast-forward and you find another scandal, one quieter but every bit as grotesque: the massive theft of public funds under the watch of Minnesota’s political leaders—particularly Tim Walz and Jacob Frey.The Feeding Our Future scandal is only the surface of this crime. State agencies allowed (and, by some accounts, even facilitated) massive fraud schemes by politically connected groups—some composed of recently arrived Somali-instituted “nonprofits” and others by “indigenous” organizations—who exploited federal COVID relief and welfare contracts. The eventual revelation that hundreds of millions of dollars had been siphoned off for luxury purchases, property empires, and overseas transfers–potentially to terror organizations–barely dented the political shield protecting these scam artists.The Walz administration, rather than aggressively pursuing accountability, downplayed and deflected. The rhetoric was predictable: any attempt to investigate was painted as “Islamophobic” or “racist.” In other words: identity politics as cover for criminal corruption.Yet the scale dwarfs even that understatement—when you add up unrelated fraud streams across child care, food programs, and COVID relief distribution, some have estimated that the state may have lost tens if not hundreds of billions in cumulative graft over the last decade. That’s not mere incompetence; it is systemic decay reinforced by arrogant and ignorant ideology.Then came the shocking recent attack on ICE officers by an anti-ICE activist—a woman radicalized by her “wife,” who–by all accounts, and validated by video–goaded her into action. Video evidence, from a variety of angles, shows that she used her car as a weapon, nearly dragging an officer and striking another. The federal agents, representing national law enforcement, were villainized; the attacker, lionized.What followed was a grotesque display of moral inversion: protesters flooded Minneapolis streets, chanting slogans defending the perpetrator and casting federal immigration enforcement as the villain. And Walz and Frey? Instead of condemning a violent attack against federal officers, they mouthed sympathetic talking points about “intense community emotion” and “federal overreach.”Make no mistake: this is the logical endpoint of Marxist moral arithmetic. To the far-Left, federal law enforcement represents “the system.” Anyone who opposes it, regardless of violence or criminality, becomes a “freedom fighter.” Minneapolis now serves as a test case for the nullification of federal authority, conducted not by states’ rights conservatives but by radical progressives seeking a sanctuary for dysfunction.What’s perhaps most galling is the industrialization of protest in Minnesota (of course, this isn’t exclusive to Minnesota or Minneapolis, but they are potent spots in the rash). The so-called “activist community” in Minneapolis operates like a permanent class—a rent-seeking caste that thrives on perpetual grievance. Their protest infrastructure is not grassroots; it is NGO-funded, philanthropic-elite-backed social engineering, monetizing victimhood under the banner of “justice.”The same pattern repeats: orchestrated street protests are followed by fundraising drives and “training” sessions for new offense-oriented activist groups, bankrolled by shadowy donors, some local, others filtered through national organizations. Protest becomes a career, a racket built on chaos. And the politicians, rather than governing, pander to their noise, terrified to cross the new priesthood of perpetual outrage.Meanwhile, the citizens of Minnesota—the ones who keep the lights on, pay taxes, and simply want peace and fairness—are left completely abandoned. Bureaucrats siphon billions, criminals are coddled, and anyone challenging the machine is vilified as “far-right.”At some point, a nation must ask whether “no one is above the law” genuinely applies to all. Because in Minnesota, it seems “justice” depends on your skin tone, your ideology, or whether your activism advances the Marxist-Progressive Democrat Party line.If a conservative had weaponized her car to assault federal agents, she’d be in solitary confinement with her face plastered across every network. But when a Marxist-aligned activist does it—she’s described as “struggling” or “misunderstood” or a “good mother,” and crowds demand her release. Walz and Frey, the two figureheads presiding over this ideological nursery of decline, act not as executives enforcing law, but as spokesmen for the anti-law cult their cowardice and inaction enabled.Enough is enough. Minnesotans—and Americans more broadly—must stop tolerating this unmitigated bullshit. The grievance-industrial complex that claims permanent moral high ground while breaking laws, destroying communities, and siphoning public funds must face accountability—the same as anyone else. That includes the deep-pocket funders who bankroll “civil disobedience” campaigns that morph into violent chaos. It includes the state and city officials who turn a blind eye to corruption because the perpetrators belong to “protected” groups and write campaign checks. And it includes the voters who keep rewarding the same ideological arsonists with reelection.Minnesota once called itself the “Land of 10,000 Lakes.” Today, it risks becoming the land of 10,000 excuses—a state where failed ideology is never blamed, only expanded. It’s time for Minnesotans to reclaim their government from the Marxist clique that’s hollowed it out. True equality before the law means law and order without political exemptions.America doesn’t need another Portland or another San Francisco. It needs responsible governance, accountable leadership, and moral courage. So, the people of Minnesota must decide: will they remain captives of the protest mob—or restore their state as part of the Republic it once proudly belonged to?Because the truth is: Minnesota hasn’t just drifted left. It’s drifted into absurdity. And the only thing more dangerous than chaos in the streets is cowardice in office that enables the Marxist march.When we come back, I talk with Kyle Warren, host of America’s Third Watch, broadcast nationally from flagship station WGUL, AM860 and FM93.7 in Tampa, Florida.In Closing…Minnesota stands at a crossroads—once admired for its balance, now symbolizing the dangers of ideological capture.Minneapolis became the proving ground where chaos replaced order, and politics replaced principle. From the riots to the billion-dollar frauds to open defiance of federal law, the pattern is crystal clear: leadership surrendered to radicalism.The real question isn’t how far left Minnesota has gone—it’s whether its people still have the courage to bring it back. Because when accountability vanishes, injustice thrives.The North Star can still shine—but only if its citizens decide they’ve had enough of the darkness.Until next time… Get full access to Underground USA at www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe

For years, Americans have been told by the media that the Democrat Party’s far-Left drift merely reflects the will of its “base.” We’re told that socialism, identity radicalism, and authoritarian “equity” programs are what Democrat voters truly want—an act of obedience dressed up as journalism. But this narrative is worse than false; it’s a deliberately engineered myth meant to conceal a hostile ideological takeover.The Democrat Party, as it exists today, has not become extreme because most Democrats are Marxists or radicals. It has become extreme because a small but organized faction of Progressive-Marxist ideologues leveraged institutional capture while the great majority of ordinary Democrats remained culturally docile, trusting, and perhaps a bit too patient.Let’s dispense with platitudes and talk numbers. The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA)—the flagship organization of the Marxist-progressive faction—claims barely 100,000 members nationwide. Even if you generously double that number to account for unaffiliated sympathizers who share their ideology but not the label, you’re looking at roughly 200,000 to 250,000 people.Compare that to the 50 million-plus registered Democrats in the United States. That means self-identified Democratic Socialists make up around 0.4–0.5% of the party, maybe one-half of one percent at the outside. Even adding in sympathetic progressive activists and “anti-capitalist” organizers from adjacent groups, perhaps 5–8% of the total Democrat constituency holds genuinely radical ideological commitments based in neo-Marxist or postmodern thought.Yet these individuals dominate the party’s cultural, rhetorical, and policy direction. How? Through the same mechanism that every radical minority throughout history has used when seizing power in a complacent establishment: discipline, manipulation, and infiltration of institutions.They occupied universities; then journalism schools; then legacy media; then the party’s policy committees; then the congressional staff structure; and finally, through relentless activism and fear tactics, they cowed senior party officials into compliance. The result is a party that looks far more like an imported political religion than a coalition of liberal voters seeking fairness and pragmatism.The media’s claim that the Democrat Party’s leaders are merely “playing to their base” is propaganda wrapped in pseudo-analysis. When Democrat officials push hardline climate mandates, “equity” redistribution, censorship of dissent, transgender policy radicalism in schools, and a never-ending stream of race essentialism, this isn’t reflective of a grassroots demand. It’s a top-down imposition directed by think tanks, activist NGOs, and donors in Silicon Valley, academia, and global finance (think Soros, Singham, and Lewis).The “base” in question is not democratic—it’s bureaucratic. It consists of professional activists, social media mobs, and ideologically captured institutions that operate as enforcement arms for a small minority. In that sense, “playing to their base” is really “appeasing their enforcers.”Rank-and-file Democrats are not sitting in living rooms discussing Marxism or class dialectics. They are small-business owners, teachers, first responders, parents–the disappearing American middle class–who want stability, fairness, and affordable living. Yet somehow, their party obsesses over race quotas, gender identity, and climate catastrophism. How does the activism of the Chicago Teachers Union, taking to the streets to protest Nicolás Maduro’s capture, help their children learn to read? These issues and actions alienate millions of disillusioned working-class Democrats who feel politically homelessThe invasive Progressive-Marxist wing thrives on language manipulation. “Equality” becomes “equity,” which becomes state-enforced outcome control. “Tolerance” becomes compelled speech. “Justice” becomes a permanent social war. They use the moral lexicon of compassion as camouflage for coercion.And mainstream Democrats, for all their virtues, have not had the will to resist. Every time a moderate pushes back—even lightly—they are accused of being “racist,” “transphobic,” or “centrist sellouts.” And the intimidation works. Silent disagreement yields to public conformity, and before long, policies once considered unthinkable—like teaching children that gender is a spectrum detached from biology—become mainstream party dogma.This drift was not accidental; it was designed. Marxist theory explicitly directs adherents to infiltrate cultural institutions first, politics second. What we’re witnessing is not grassroots populism—it’s institutional Marxism disguised as progress.The radicals have mastered a specific formula:* Narrative Control: They dominate the language of public morality. Disagreeing with them is presented not as a political difference but as a moral sin.* Institutional Capture: Academia, entertainment, and NGOs form a self-reinforcing triad of ideological enforcement.* Emotional Blackmail: Party leaders are terrified of social ostracism; they obey to avoid being “canceled.”* Voter Manipulation: The party relies on emotional, identity-based appeals to keep ordinary Democrats aligned, even when their own values clash with the radical agenda.Through this model, 5–8% of Democrats shape policy for the other 90%.But this doesn’t have to be the destiny of the Democrat Party. Many lifelong Democrats remember when “liberalism” meant free speech, civil liberties, skepticism of concentrated power, and economic fairness—not ideological conformity and censorship. They remember when environmentalism was about clean air and water, not neo-Malthusian de-growth.It’s time for the rank‑and‑file Democrats, the rational center of the party, to take back their institution. You can no longer delegate your conscience to career politicians or the activist elite. Demand transparency. Reject censorship. Stop tolerating leaders who use moral panic to distract from economic decay. If moderates, classical liberals, and real Democrats stand together, the radicals can be marginalized quickly because their power is built on perception, not numbers.The problem is not that your party has leaned Left—it’s that it’s been colonized by neo-authoritarians masquerading as idealists. Cull the extremists, or they will cull your freedom of thought.Now, let’s not romanticize the other side. The Republican Party suffers from its own pathology—a cancer not of ideology, but of selfish opportunism and strategic apathy. It’s the “it’s my turn” mentality of career politicians climbing the hierarchy while pretending to be outsiders. The GOP establishment too often serves its donors first and voters last, ignoring the grassroots organizations doing the real work, preferring managed decline to real reform. Many elected Republicans oppose Marxism rhetorically while embracing the same crony structures that sustain it. That’s a problem for the GOP rank-and-file to rectify.America doesn’t need two dysfunctional parties trading hypocrisy—it needs citizens reclaiming both.America’s political illness cannot be solved by switching jerseys. The only cure is courage—especially from the moderate, reasonable Democrats who still value genuine liberalism over ideological control. A party that silences dissent cannot call itself democratic, and a people that tolerates it for convenience will wake up one morning to find that democracy has been replaced by dogma.The Democrat Party must choose what it wishes to be: a coalition of citizens or a cathedral of ideology. And the first step is for its quiet majority to stand up and say the words that terrify tyrants in every age:“You do not speak for us.”When we come back, our segment on America’s Third Watch, broadcast nationally from our flagship station WGUL, AM860 and FM93.7 in Tampa, Florida.In Closing…The truth is simple: the progressive‑Marxist faction is loud, not large. They’ve hijacked a once‑liberal party and sold moral absolutism as compassion while silencing dissent. Rank‑and‑file Democrats—teachers, small business owners, parents—must take back their house before it collapses completely. Demand honesty, reject coercion, and stop mistaking extremism for virtue.And for Republicans, self‑interest disguised as leadership is no better. Both parties are ill from different diseases—one of fanaticism, the other of apathetic self-importance.The cure isn’t left or right; it’s courage—citizens choosing principle over party before corruption, disinterested in the citizen, becomes our new normal.Until next time… Get full access to Underground USA at www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe

With all the hyper-partisan, ideologically contrived “blah-blah” going on after the Meduro “get,” it seems that now is as good a time as any to clear up a purposefully crafted misconception, manufactured by the Deep State and the American Marxist movement.Many who oppose the MAGA movement—globalists on the Left and neocon remnants of the old Republican establishment alike—have spent years trying to brand it as “anti-war.” They’ve painted Trump supporters as retreatists and anti-intervention pacifists. They’ve done this deliberately, to fracture the conservative base ahead of the midterms and 2026. But here’s the truth: The MAGA movement has never been anti-war—it has been anti-stupid war. It rejects endless, special-interest-driven foreign entanglements that bleed American lives and treasure, while doing nothing to advance our actual national interests.In fairness, there were some early voices within the MAGA camp who misunderstood the core meaning of “America First.” They mistook it for “America Alone.” Figures like Marjorie Taylor Greene and others who argued for total disengagement from the world’s strategic hotspots revealed, over time, that they were never truly understood or aligned with the founding spirit of the movement.Isolationism is not America First—it’s America abandoned. The roots of MAGA don’t lie in retreat or withdrawal—they lie in reasserting American leadership on our terms, not the global elite’s. Those who preach total non-engagement, who see any use of military or economic power abroad as betrayal, are not defending American sovereignty—they’re surrendering it to those who would happily fill the vacuum left behind, like China, Russia, Iran, North Lorea and the rest of the usual suspects.The MAGA movement rejects what we might call the “military industrial forever loop”—the endless feed of troops and tax dollars into foreign wars orchestrated by career bureaucrats, Beltway consultants, and defense lobbyists: Major players in the Deep State. These wars have no constitutionally defined mission, no concrete objectives, and no exit strategy.Trump’s foreign policy revolution brought clarity: military force is a tool for defense, deterrence, and direct national interest—not for global social experiments or permanent occupations. MAGA does not dismantle American power—it redirects it. It refuses to repeat the moral and logistical blunders of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, but it also refuses to abandon the world stage to tyrants, cartels, and ideologues.MAGA means the US throwing off the global elite’s unilaterally mandated idea that the United States exists as the world’s policeman.America’s armed forces should not be used as the enforcement mechanism for UN bureaucrats or NATO technocrats trying to sustain their multilateral illusions. Washington spent decades letting unelected committees dictate where our troops were sent and why—and the results speak for themselves: trillions spent, allies emboldened, and Americans forgotten.America is not the world’s policeman, but those of the MAGA movement recognize the difference between servitude and strength. Restraint is not weakness—but absence of resolve is.MAGA is the belief that America has a sacred duty to protect its citizens, property, and interests anywhere in the world. That’s not “interventionism”—it’s sovereignty extended beyond our borders to shield our people from harm.Take Venezuela: the Chávez and Maduro regimes didn’t just strangle their own population—they waged a soft war on the United States. They facilitated narcotics and human trafficking networks that directly targeted the American heartland. These networks, along with their Mexican cartel partners, have killed more Americans annually than any conflict since World War II.Standing up to such regimes—seizing their illegally attained assets, supporting legitimate liberation movements, and repatriating stolen US wealth—is self-defense, not meddling. It’s about protecting Americans from the slow-kill of narcotic and economic warfare.Where the MAGA mindset differs sharply from the old establishment is in its understanding of partnership. True allies are those who take the initiative and assume responsibility for their own defense. Our support should reinforce their will, not replace it, creating dependency.Israel provides the clearest example. Facing Iranian aggression both directly and through proxies like Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis, Israel didn’t and isn’t asking America to fight its wars—it’s fighting them itself. Under Trump, America’s role was to equip, deter, and support—not to occupy. MAGA stands firmly behind allies who stand firmly for themselves.The MAGA foreign policy vision extends beyond mere military posturing—it’s about strengthening independent nations that share our commitment to sovereignty, order, and liberty. In Europe, MAGA-supported leaders are resisting Brussels’ open-border dogma and the migrant invasions that threaten their cultural survival. In Asia, Trump-backed nations confront Beijing’s communist expansionism and technological theft.By empowering regional powers aligned with freedom, MAGA multiplies America’s influence without sacrificing American lives on the altar of globalism. It’s delegated strength—not abdication.Understanding that it’s easy to see that those now working hardest to smear MAGA as “anti-war” are not patriots—they’re opportunists. Some sit on the Left; others wear red ties and smile on FOX—but they’re the same species of parasite. They weaponize confusion about MAGA’s true philosophy to fracture the Right, sabotaging unity to keep the money flowing through old DC channels; attempting to create disunity in the MAGA base to feed the continuance of the Deep State.Even within MAGA’s own ranks, some have revealed themselves as unserious—obsessed with sound bites rather than substance, with isolation rather than sovereignty. When a self-described “America First” politician praises disengagement that empowers narco-states, Iran, or China, they’ve outed themselves as America Last in disguise.President Trump showed what real America First leadership looks like: modernize the military, destroy ISIS, deter Iran, limit Chinese expansion, bring troops home responsibly, and—most critically—avoid plunging America into new, unwinnable wars. That’s not pacifism. That’s power properly aimed.The MAGA movement is principled, not passive. Its moral compass aligns with national survival, not with emotionally charged, sentimental globalism. It doesn’t view every military action as evil—only those that serve no clear, constitutional, and patriotic purpose.Ironically, the isolationists and globalists share the same flaw: both misunderstand America’s role in the world. Isolationists seek to hide from it; the globalists seek to rule it. MAGA seeks to lead through strength—protecting Americans first, partnering with allies who carry their own weight, and using power to prevent greater harm.In the end, MAGA is not anti-war—it is pro-America. It isn’t anti-military—it’s anti-exploitation of the military. It doesn’t imagine a world where America hides; it envisions one where America stands tall, strong, and free from entanglements that betray its people.Those who confuse strength with isolationism, or call disengagement “patriotism,” never truly understood the cause. The MAGA movement–which is alive and very well–is not about running away from the world, it’s about reclaiming our place in it on our own righteous terms.America First means exactly that: protecting Americans, defending freedom, and advancing our interests—everywhere they are threatened, and by whatever means necessary. To that end, President Trump is doing a very good job.When we come back, our segment on America’s Third Watch, broadcast nationally from our flagship station WGUL, AM860 and FM93.7 in Tampa, Florida.In Closing…The MAGA movement isn’t anti-war—it’s anti-stupid war. It rejects endless, directionless conflicts while standing ready to defend America’s people, assets, and values anywhere they’re threatened. It supports real allies who fight for their own freedom and regional stability, not bureaucratic parasites demanding perpetual US intervention.The isolationists pretending to be “America First” have revealed themselves—they’d rather retreat than defend our sovereignty. The true MAGA mindset means disciplined strength: avoiding foreign entanglements that betray our people, while striking decisively when our interests are under attack.America First doesn’t mean America alone—it means America leading with purpose, power, and patriotism. Let’s remember that in the face of the never-ending propaganda.Until next time… Get full access to Underground USA at www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe

It’s hard to overstate just how jarring Tucker Carlson’s recent rhetoric has become. Once the sharpest populist voice in American media—a man who tore through both neoliberal and neocon orthodoxies with surgical precision—Carlson has suddenly started speaking as though he moonlights as a Qatari press attaché.His now-infamous claim that “Islamofascism is less of a threat to the West than OnlyFans” didn’t just disturb his conservative base—it detonated it. The outrage was less about prudish moralizing and more about disbelief: when did Tucker Carlson, of all people, start downplaying a totalitarian religious movement that literally burns homosexuals and stones women?To dismiss this shift as mere contrarianism is naïve. Carlson’s pattern of commentary over the past year shows a deliberate, consistent softening toward the ideological regimes of the Middle East—most notably those orbiting Qatar and its wealthy Islamofascist allies. And the timing is impeccable for Doha’s global media strategy, which is aggressively investing billions in Western media ecosystems to “humanize” Islamofascism, rehabilitate its image, and subtly attack its two favorite enemies: Israel and the West.What better vehicle for such propaganda than a once-beloved right-wing populist now spurned by American corporate media—someone whose credibility among millions rests on his seeming independence?Let’s talk about Qatar. This is a country that has spent decades laundering its authoritarian ideology through institutions that Western elites mistake for academic and journalistic philanthropy. The Qatari government bankrolls think tanks, buys media stakes, and funds universities with one hand, while promoting Islamofascist political movements throughout the Arab world with the other.Its greatest export isn’t liquefied natural gas—it’s moral inversion. The idea that rigid theocracy is preferable to decadent individualism. That submission is order, and freedom is chaos. It’s a message tailor-made for a West exhausted by its own nihilism.Carlson’s newly Islamofascist-friendly messaging fits this playbook too neatly to ignore. His post-Fox ventures are remarkably well-funded for an “independent journalist.” Lavish travel across continents, smooth production, global exclusives with controversial heads of state—yet his revenue sources remain clandestinely opaque. Various financial trackers and independent investigators have noted loose ties between some of Carlson’s production operations and foreign financial entities linked to Gulf intermediaries.But nothing definitively proves a direct wire from Doha, of course—if you know how modern propaganda markets function, you know that raw bribery is passé. Influence is purchased by ecosystem, not by envelope.What we’re witnessing is the Islamofascist narrative disguised as moral realism.Carlson’s brand has always relied on moral conflict narratives—he pits the spiritual sickness of liberal elites against some vision of prelapsarian order. But lately he has recast the Islamofascist model—theocratic submission through violence—as the moral antidote to Western degeneracy.When Tucker tells you that OnlyFans is more dangerous than Islamofascism, he’s not making a religious argument. He’s offering a false dichotomy: that your choices are between soulless consumerism or pious tyranny. That moral order requires uniformity of thought and suppression of freedom. It’s the same rhetoric that Qatari-aligned media platforms like Al Jazeera Arabic have pushed for decades—always cloaked in “moral clarity,” always demonizing Western liberty as sexual chaos dressed up as tolerance.The eeriest part isn’t that Carlson flirts with that narrative—it’s that he seems to believe he’s still being simply contrarian.Another thread in his transformation is impossible to ignore: Carlson’s creeping antisemitism, couched in pseudo-intellectual populism. His recent insinuations about Jewish influence over global finance and American foreign policy echo the oldest fascist tropes on record.Once, Carlson criticized Israel the way a serious commentator might criticize any ally—based on policy. Now he joins the Islamofascist chorus accusing the Jewish people, collectively, of masterminding global immorality and media corruption. These ideas are not original; they are imports. They flow directly from the same ideological streams that run beneath Qatari mosques, Iranian propaganda outlets, and Turkish state media. The same narratives were prevalent in 1939 Germany.It is not coincidental that Islamofascist regimes have long tried to translate their own antisemitic propaganda into language digestible by the Western Right: moral discipline, family values, economic honesty—twisted into theological antisemitism camouflaged as cultural critique.It’s important to realize that today’s propaganda doesn’t leave a paper trail.The modern influence industry is not crude bribery—it’s soft corruption through circles of access and affirmation. Invitations, partnerships, funding deals, reputational networks. Give a man a global stage, frame his next documentary, and he’ll convince himself he’s independent.Carlson is now immersed in precisely that ecosystem. Surrounded by financiers sympathetic to Islamofascist regimes, applauded by Qatari-friendly editorial networks, and embraced by global-state-funded “counter-establishment” figures, he is, effectively, domesticated propaganda. He isn’t even cajoled into saying what they want him to say anymore. The message now flows smoothly through him.He has become, perhaps unwittingly, the West’s most trusted messenger for Islamofascism’s rehabilitated image: the idea that moral sanctity must come by authoritarian religion rather than individual virtue.So, let’s be clear: Tucker Carlson’s pivot is not simply a man evolving. It’s a brand being retooled for strategic value abroad.When he suggests that Islamofascism is less dangerous than Western moral decay, he’s effectively saying that censorship, violence, and theocratic control are preferable to liberty’s excesses. And make no mistake—Doha loves that message. It validates the Islamic totalitarian model by borrowing the rhetoric of Western decline. It sells submission as sophistication.If that stance wins him a few petrodollars and elite invitations, that’s just the exchange rate.Carlson used to argue that the biggest threat to the West was the corporate media complex—the machine that sells narratives as truth for profit. He was right. He just forgot that he was part of it too.Now, whether consciously or cynically, he stands atop an ideological laundering operation that trades in the moral currency of the exhausted West, converting frustration into sympathy for tyranny.So yes, Tucker Carlson may believe he’s exposing hypocrisy. But anyone half awake can see who benefits from his recent sermons about Western decadence and “the misunderstood Islamic world”: The same regimes that imprison cartoonists, publicly whip dissidents. Throw homosexuals from rooftops, and stone women. The same elites whose fortresses gleam from Qatari gas wealth, while their citizens live under medieval laws.He is preaching to a Western audience that doesn’t recognize the trap—one that mistakes submission for salvation.The only mystery left isn’t why this transformation happened. The incentives are clear. The question now is simpler, sharper, and infinitely more embarrassing:How long has Tucker Carlson been buyable?When we come back, our segment on America’s Third Watch, broadcast nationally from our flagship station WGUL, AM860 and FM93.7 in Tampa, Florida.In Closing…Tucker Carlson: What we’re watching isn’t free thought — it’s ideological laundering dressed up as independence.Carlson, once the hammer of the powerful, now hums along to the tune of Islamofascist propaganda financed by the same oligarchs he once exposed. The man who preached skepticism has become its victim, repeating the moral justifications of regimes that would silence him first.This isn’t righteous rebellion; it’s rented conviction. The dollar signs just happen to be written in Arabic. Thus, the question that hangs over it all — the one Carlson can’t answer: when did truth start carrying a price tag?Until next time… Get full access to Underground USA at www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe

The story of health insurance in the United States begins not with Wall Street sharks circling for profits, but with a modest act of community solidarity during the Great Depression.In 1929, at Baylor University Hospital in Texas, administrators faced empty beds and unpaid bills as economic collapse kept patients away. So, they devised a prepaid plan: for a small monthly fee, teachers could secure hospital care without fear of ruinous costs. This became the blueprint for Blue Cross, a nonprofit model that spread rapidly across the country in the 1930s. Soon after, Blue Shield plans emerged to cover physician services. These were explicitly nonprofit entities, often granted tax-exempt status and special regulatory privileges in exchange for serving the public good—community rating (charging everyone the same premium regardless of health status), acting as insurers of last resort, and prioritizing access over profit.During World War II, wage freezes pushed employers to offer health benefits as a perk, cementing employer-sponsored insurance as the dominant model. By the 1950s, enrollment exploded from millions to over 140 million. The Blues dominated, focusing on broad coverage and affordability. Commercial for-profit insurers existed but only on the fringes; they couldn’t compete with the Blues’ nonprofit advantages until they adopted “experience rating”—charging higher premiums to sicker groups—allowing them to cherry-pick healthy customers and undercut the Blues in certain markets.This nonprofit era wasn’t perfect, but it kept costs relatively contained. Patients and providers dealt directly, with insurance stepping in as a safety net rather than a profit extractor. Medical loss ratios—the share of premiums spent on actual care—hovered around 95%, meaning nearly every dollar went to healthcare rather than overhead or dividends.The enactment of Medicare and Medicaid in 1965, while a landmark social safety net achievement in expanding access to the elderly and poor, tragically hyper-intensified the demise of nonprofit health insurance and healthcare. By injecting massive third-party government payments into the system—reimbursing hospitals and physicians on a cost-plus or fee-for-service basis—these programs severed the direct link between patients and providers, unleashing unchecked cost inflation. Providers, shielded from price sensitivity, charged whatever they wanted, knowing the government check would arrive. This “third-party payment problem” flooded the system with money, rewarding volume over value and creating irresistible profit opportunities. Nonprofit hospitals and insurers, once focused on community service, faced mounting pressure to expand bureaucracies, raise charges, and compete in an escalating arms race of costs. For-profit entrants exploited the gusher of funds, accelerating the shift toward shareholder-driven models that prioritized extraction over care.The devastating turning point came in the 1970s and 1980s, when greed began to infiltrate. The Health Maintenance Organization Act of 1973, signed by Richard Nixon, provided federal subsidies and loosened restrictions to promote HMOs. Early HMOs were nonprofit, emphasizing preventive care. But the law unleashed a wave of for-profit HMOs, which quickly dominated the space by prioritizing cost-cutting over quality and skimming healthy enrollees.The real betrayal occurred in 1994, when the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association—under pressure from competitive threats—abandoned its nonprofit mandate, allowing member plans to convert to for-profit status. What followed was a feeding frenzy. Blue Cross of California aggressively acquired plans in other states, rebranding as WellPoint (now part of Anthem, the second-largest insurer). Conversions swept through states: Georgia to Cerulean, Missouri to RightChoice, Virginia, and more. By the 2000s, many iconic Blues had morphed into shareholder-driven behemoths, with assets often transferred to foundations as a deceptive fig leaf for public benefit.This shift to profiteering transformed health insurance from a public service into a rapacious industry. For-profit insurers face relentless pressure to deliver shareholder returns, leading to skyrocketing administrative costs—marketing blitzes, executive bonanzas, lobbying armies, and denial machines designed to avoid payouts. Studies show that for-profit plans have higher administrative overhead (often 6 percentage points more than nonprofits) and lower medical loss ratios, meaning less money reaches patients and providers.The result? Exploding prices. US healthcare now consumes nearly 20% of GDP, double what most developed nations spend, with worse outcomes like lower life expectancy and higher infant mortality. For-profit dominance incentivizes higher provider payments because insurers can simply pass costs to premiums—especially under rules like the Affordable Care Act’s medical loss ratio requirements, which paradoxically reward spending growth as long as it’s on “care.” Consolidated insurers negotiate aggressively but often acquiesce to provider price hikes, knowing they can raise premiums accordingly and pocket the difference in profits.Big Pharma thrives in this ecosystem, jacking up drug prices knowing insurers will pay (or shift costs to patients via deductibles). The corporatized hospital industrial complex—chains like HCA—mirrors this, buying up facilities, cutting nursing staff for “efficiency,” and inflating charges. All while denying claims, imposing prior authorizations that delay care (and sometimes outrightly deny care), and narrowing networks to squeeze providers.Critics of nonprofits claim they lack innovation or efficiency. This is propagandistic profiteer-driven nonsense. Nonprofit executives still earn substantial wages—often seven figures at large plans like Kaiser Permanente—providing ample incentive without the obscene shareholder mandates. Nonprofits historically delivered higher medical loss ratios (up to 95% pre-conversion) and broader community benefits, serving as insurers of last resort without cherry-picking.The American people are paying the price—literally—for this profiteering orgy that is for-profit health insurance. Families face crushing premiums, deductibles that deter care, and medical debt that bankrupts millions annually. Meanwhile, for-profit giants like UnitedHealth rake in billions while CEOs are compensated like royalty.It’s time to reclaim healthcare from these vultures. The United States would be far better served by returning to a nonprofit model for health insurance, where patient care is the focus, not stock prices. This isn’t the anti-capitalism of government-controlled or hyper-regulated health insurance and healthcare—far from it. Multiple nonprofit entities would still compete vigorously for enrollees, driving down premiums through market forces, innovating in service quality, network breadth, and preventive programs to attract customers and establish efficient pricing. Historical Blue Cross plans competed successfully as nonprofits, proving that competition thrives without shareholder extraction.Moreover, mandating nonprofit status aligns with the US Constitution’s mandate to “provide for the...general Welfare of the United States.” Healthcare access is fundamental to the nation’s welfare, and profiteering has corrupted this common good by inflating costs and erecting barriers to care. Returning to nonprofit health insurance would expunge the bloated bureaucracy of denial appeals, prior authorizations, and profit-driven overhead—freeing resources for actual medicine—while purging the corruption that prioritizes profiteering over human lives.Intelligent federal legislation is urgently needed: mandate nonprofit status for all insurers and hospitals, prohibit conversions and shareholder payouts, cap administrative overhead, redirect surpluses to expanded coverage and community health, and foster robust competition among nonprofits. Pair this with reforms to dismantle provider monopolies and rein in BigPharma’s gouging, and you have a winning solution to the problem at hand.Only then can we build a system that serves people, not predators. Congress must act—before another generation is sacrificed on the altar of corporate greed.When we come back, our segment on America’s Third Watch, broadcast nationally from our flagship station WGUL, AM860 and FM93.7 in Tampa, Florida.In Closing…It’s time to dismantle the corrupt grip of corporate profiteers on American healthcare. Government subsidies, favorable regulations, and laws rigged to benefit for-profit insurers and hospital chains have fueled skyrocketing costs, rampant claim denials, and obscene executive payouts—turning a public necessity into a private windfall.We must return to proven nonprofit models that prioritize patients over shareholders.Demand bold federal legislation: mandate nonprofit status for insurers and hospitals, eliminate shareholder extraction, cap overhead, and restore genuine competition. This isn’t anti-capitalism, and it’s not pro-government takeover of healthcare. It’s the re-institution of nonprofits as the driving cause in our American health system—it’s expunging corruption and going back to the future.Contact your representatives now. Insist they champion this reform. Truthfully, lives depend on it.Until next time… Get full access to Underground USA at www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe

The modern Democrat Party no longer trusts elections to deliver power; it trusts Marc Elias, Norm Eisen, Mary McCord, and Andrew Weissmann—along with their K Street lawfare factories—to manufacture it through deception. These are not mere attorneys; they are political arsonists in $3,000 suits who have turned the First Amendment into a loaded weapon.From the marble lobbies of Perkins Coie to the revolving doors of WilmerHale and Covington & Burling, the Lawfare Democrat class—led by Elias (the architect of the 2016 Clinton-funded Steele dossier), Eisen (author of the “how-to” impeachment playbook), Mary McCord (the DOJ official who helped launch Crossfire Hurricane and later became the legal face of every anti-Trump “resistance” group), and Weissmann (Mueller’s pit bull)—has perfected the false-flag media operation. They invent a scandal, launder it through “anonymous sources,” and watch their stenographers at CNN, NPR, and The Atlantic detonate it across the country. The goal is never truth; it is always partisan domination by any means necessary.The formula is brutally simple: a Lawfare operative drafts a lurid claim, feeds it to a cooperative reporter as coming from “a senior official familiar with the matter,” and the story is published without a single named source or piece of verifiable evidence. Retractions, when they finally crawl out weeks later, are printed on page 19 in 8-point font. By then, the damage is done—polls have moved, donors have panicked, and another chunk of the republic’s faith in institutions has been hollowed out.Four recent examples expose the playbook in crystalline detail.Arlington Cemetery “Desecration” HoaxDays after Trump visited Section 60 to honor the 13 service members killed in Biden’s Afghanistan withdrawal, NPR—citing only anonymous “Army officials”—accused Trump’s team of shoving cemetery staff and illegally filming a campaign ad on sacred ground. The story was immediately weaponized by Kamala Harris and every blue-check pundit on X. Within 48 hours, the Gold Star families themselves released statements and video proving they had personally invited Trump and thanked him for being there. The “anonymous officials”? Almost certainly coordinated through Marc Elias’s network, whose firm has specialized in weaponizing military families against Republicans since the Russiagate era. NPR’s half-hearted correction came only after the families threatened legal action.The Atlantic’s “Hitler Praised Generals” RevivalJeffrey Goldberg, still nursing wounds from his debunked 2020 “suckers and losers” fantasy, dropped another anonymously sourced bombshell weeks before the election: Trump, according to “sources close to the former president,” had repeatedly praised Hitler’s generals and complained about the cost of a slain soldier’s funeral. The timing was surgical—maximum panic, minimum time for fact-checking. John Kelly, the supposed primary source, refused to go on the record. No one else ever did. Yet the story dominated the final stretch of the campaign. Behind the curtain: Norm Eisen and Mary McCord were openly coordinating anti-Trump messaging with Atlantic writers during this exact period, according to leaked Signal chats later published by independent journalists.The “Astronauts Aren’t Stranded” GaslightingWhen Trump and Elon Musk moved aggressively to bring home NASA astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore—left orbiting for ten months because of Boeing’s Starliner debacle under Biden—NPR ran an extraordinary piece insisting the astronauts were “not stranded at all,” citing only anonymous “agency sources.” This directly contradicted NPR’s own reporting from the previous nine months, in which the word “stranded” had appeared dozens of times. The sudden reversal came just as Trump was scoring political points for decisive action. The fingerprints of Andrew Weissmann’s network were all over it; former Obama-Biden holdovers inside NASA and the White House comms shop, still taking marching orders from the Lawfare clique, fed the line to friendly reporters to blunt the president’s momentum.The Cabinet Purge Whispers:Firing Kash Patel & Kristi NoemAs whispers of a post-midterm reshuffle gained traction, outlets like MS NOW and The Daily Beast unleashed a barrage of anonymously sourced speculation that Trump was plotting to axe two of his most loyal lieutenants: FBI Director Kash Patel and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.In late November, MS NOW cited “three people with knowledge of the situation who requested anonymity” to claim Trump was “weighing” Patel’s ouster over alleged missteps, including using a government jet for a date with his girlfriend, Alexis Wilkins, and assigning FBI resources to her security detail. The story painted Patel as “on thin ice,” with Co-Deputy Director Andrew Bailey floated as a replacement—ignoring Patel’s successes in ramping up arrests of violent felons.Just days later, similar anonymous “sources” fueled reports of Noem’s impending firing, tied to her hiring of Corey Lewandowski amid rumors of an affair, with CNN and OK! Magazine amplifying claims that White House frustration was boiling over. By early December, The Daily Beast bundled both into a “borrowed time” narrative, suggesting a 2026 purge of Patel, Noem, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to “clean house.”The White House detonated the hoax in real time: Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt recounted reading the Patel headline to Trump mid-meeting with the FBI chief, prompting laughter and a photo-op thumbs-up to debunk it as “Fake News.” Noem’s team dismissed the smears as baseless gossip. Yet the timing—coinciding with Patel’s aggressive probes into Deep State holdovers and Noem’s mass deportation push—reeks of sabotage. K Street’s hand? Undeniable: Mary McCord’s “Protect Democracy” network and Weissmann’s alumni have been spotted in DC salons bragging about “destabilizing” Trump’s enforcers through precisely these leaks, turning loyalists into liabilities overnight.The Epstein Redacted Photos SmearIn a brazen partisan stunt just days ago, on December 13, 2025, House Oversight Committee Democrats selectively released 19 redacted photos from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate out of over 95,000 received, prominently featuring images of Trump with women’s faces blacked out to imply sinister ties and possible knowledge of Epstein’s abuses. Freshman Rep. Yassamin Ansari posted the images on X, calling them “vile, disturbing new photos of Donald Trump that raise even more question about knowledge of abuses at Epstein’s estate.”The selective redactions fueled immediate media frenzy, reviving long-debunked Epstein-Trump guilt-by-association narratives at a moment when Trump’s DOJ was pushing full file transparency.But the hoax collapsed swiftly: unredacted versions revealed the women as adult Hawaiian Tropic suntan lotion models at a 1990s Mar-a-Lago promotional event tied to Trump’s Miss Universe ownership—one even praising him in interviews as a “gentleman.” Faces were redacted at the individuals’ own request, per Epstein estate lawyers, yet Democrats cherry-picked and presented them to manufacture innuendo. The White House blasted it as another “Democrat hoax,” with Trump dismissing the recycled smears. This Lawfare-orchestrated leak—echoing Mary McCord’s “resistance” networks coordinating with congressional Democrats—aimed to distract from embarrassing Epstein ties to figures like Bill Clinton while tarring Trump anew.These are not mistakes. They are deliberate acts of political warfare executed by a permanent class of Democrat lawyers—Elias, Eisen, McCord, Weissmann, and their junior associates—who have openly boasted on podcasts and at Georgetown salons about using “democracy-protecting” lawfare and media manipulation to neutralize populist threats. Each hoax chips away at Trump’s mandate, forcing defensive firefights that distract from draining the swamp.The American voter must learn to see through this theater of deception. Every time we reward anonymous smears with outrage, retweets, or shifted votes, we hand these disgusting, deceitful operatives another link in the chains they are forging for all of us. If we continue to let miscreants like Marc Elias, Mary McCord, and their shadowy, greasy ilk substitute fabricated narratives for earned political victories, we will not wake up in the America our founders envisioned—we will wake up in politically manufactured chains, governed by whoever controls the last leak to The Atlantic.The choice is ours, but the hour is late.When we come back, our segment on America’s Third Watch, broadcast nationally from our flagship station WGUL, AM860 and FM93.7 in Tampa, Florida.In Closing…The Lawfare Democrats—Elias, Eisen, McCord, Weissmann—don’t debate you at the ballot box anymore. They invent anonymous scandals, leak them to their media stooges, and watch the Republic bleed trust.The lies at Arlington, Goldberg’s Hitler fantasies, gaslighting about astronauts, the latest fake purge bullshit, and false-flag photos: same playbook, same liars, same goal—power without permission.If we keep swallowing these poison pills disguised as “breaking news,” the chains they’re forging won’t be metaphorical. Wake up! Question every unsourced story, and remember: the people who scream loudest about protecting democracy are usually the ones trying to kill it.Until next time… Get full access to Underground USA at www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe

Let’s cut the bullshit, and this is going to be a little harsh, so strap in: the Republican Party, from its bumbling state chapters to the bloated national machine, has once again proven itself utterly incompetent at the one job that matters—getting its voters to the polls in off-year elections.On December 9, 2025, in Miami, a measly 21.3% turnout handed the mayor’s office to Democrat Eileen Higgins, who crushed Trump-endorsed Republican Emilio González 59% to 41%. That’s right—only 37,496 out of 175,692 registered voters bothered to show up in a city that’s supposed to be a conservative stronghold in Hispanic-heavy Florida. This isn’t just a loss; it’s a humiliating surrender, ending nearly 30 years of GOP control in a place where Republicans have preached family values and border security for generations.Higgins, a 61-year-old former county commissioner with a resume padded by Peace Corps stints in Belize, didn’t just win—she signed on explicitly to Democratic Socialism, campaigning with a platform that reeked of equity-driven policies, environmental hand-wringing over Biscayne Bay, and streamlined services that sound an awful lot like government overreach dressed in feel-good drag. Her victory amplified a realignment among Hispanic voters battered by economic squeezes and federal policy whiplash, as noted in sharp election coverage.And it’s not an isolated fuck-up. Across the country, from Seattle’s socialist strongholds to New York’s progressive playgrounds, Democratic Socialists are racking up wins in these low-stakes races, turning city halls into petri dishes for equity experiments and wealth redistribution schemes. The GOP? They’re asleep at the wheel, too busy circle-jerking over presidential fantasies to notice the ground crumbling beneath them.Miami’s debacle is the poster child for this electoral malpractice. Higgins waltzed into office by hammering affordable housing and falsely slamming Republican immigration crackdowns as heartless attacks on Cuban, Venezuelan, and Haitian families right in Little Havana. González, the ex-city manager who ran USCIS under Bush and pushed for axing property taxes while toughening borders, had the dream team of endorsements: Trump, DeSantis, Rick Scott, Ted Cruz. What did it get him? A 41% ass-kicking in a nonpartisan race where national Dem groups poured in cash to flip the script.Turnout at 21.3% is unacceptable at every level—city, county, state, national. It’s not bad luck; it’s a symptom of a party that’s forgotten how to fight when the cameras aren’t rolling. Republicans whine about “low-turnout protests” fueling these losses, as if that’s an excuse rather than a confession of their own laziness.NewsMax reports Democrats crowing about these Florida and Georgia off-year victories as “momentum” for 2026, with the Democrat Legislative Campaign Committee dropping $50 million on an expanded war chest targeting 42 state chambers. In Georgia, Dems snagged a state House special election to replace a Republican rep, narrowing the GOP edge while holding onto a runoff in suburban Atlanta. These aren’t flukes; they’re the bleeding edge of a socialist creep that’s already colonized blue cities but now eyes red-state underbellies.This wave of Democratic Socialist triumphs isn’t confined to Miami’s humid sprawl. Zoom out, and you’ll see the pattern: from Seattle, where eco-socialists have locked down city council seats with mandates for rent control and “just transition” green boondoggles, to New York, where Mamdani and AOC-style firebrands have turned boroughs into laboratories for universal basic income pilots and defund-the-police reruns. Miami’s just the latest notch, a gateway drug for Marxism-lite in the Sunshine State, complete with Higgins’ full-throated embrace of the ideology.These wins thrive in the shadows of off-year apathy, where ideologues on the Left mobilize like it’s D-Day, door-knocking and meme-warrioring while conservatives treat local races like optional Netflix binges. The GOP apparatuses—those sclerotic state parties and the national RNC clown car—deserve a lion’s share of the blame for this abstract failure to manufacture turnout. They’ve got the data, the donor lists, the algorithms, but zero fucking aptitude to use them. Instead of blanketing airwaves with ads exposing how “Democratic Socialism” is just Stalinism with pronouns, they let narratives fester unchecked.Deep-pocket Republicans and conservatives, those Wall Street fat cats and Silicon Valley turncoats, too busy golfing and comfortable in their self-importance, who fund the party like it’s a vanity project, are the worst offenders. Clueless doesn’t begin to cover it—they’re willfully blind, dumping billions into presidential PACs and TV blitzes while starving the grassroots organizations that actually do effective work at the local level. Preserving Trump’s reform movement? Forget it. Without recapturing county commissions, school boards, and state legislatures—and maintaining majorities in the US House, that “movement” is just a tweetstorm waiting to die.But here’s the ugly truth, and I’m sure you’re not going to like it: the Republican voter base owns this mess too. You—yes, you, the self-proclaimed patriot scrolling this on your phone—consistently ignore off-year elections like they’re someone else’s problem.These off-year and midterm elections aren’t sideshows; they’re the demolition derby where mandated governments get torched before they metastasize. While you’re too busy watching little Portnoy’s soccer game or lying to yourself that everyone else will show up to the polls, ignoring that special election for city council or state rep (a true mark of apathetic laziness, I might add), the Marxist left’s activists—those tattooed, nose-riged baristas and arrogant adjunct profesors high on their own propaganda—don’t rest. They bus in voters, litigate every ballot, and whisper sweet nothings about “systemic inequities” to flip precincts one by one.Off-year races are where the real power consolidates: zoning laws that greenlight homeless encampments, curricula that indoctrinate kids with critical race theory, budgets that balloon welfare rolls. By sitting it out and/or absolving yourself from your civic responsibility to vote, conservatives and Libertarians aren’t abstaining; they’re abdicating, handing the keys to the very radicals who view your values—our values—as obstacles to their Marxist utopia.The national GOP’s response? Pathetic deflections.President Trump, rallying in Pennsylvania, sniped at Democrats as “Bonnie and Clyde preaching public safety” and the “enemy of the working class,” urging focus on prices, borders, and growth. Fair enough, but that’s 2026 talk. Where’s the machine to make it stick in 2025’s election battles? State parties in Florida and Georgia mumble about “media-fueled protests” and low turnout favoring “ideologically motivated” Dems, as if building motivation is optional.Bullshit!The deep-pocket crowd needs to wake up: invest in the future, or watch it burn. Fund those scrappy organizations that spearhead county initiatives that reclaim the narrative—town halls blasting the dangers of socialism and Marxism masquerading as “progressive equity.” Educate the base, not with useless TED Talks, but with billboards and mailers screaming how Democratic Socialism guts small businesses, spikes crime, and erodes freedoms.Grassroots isn’t a buzzword; it’s the firewall against this creep.No reform movement—not Trump’s, not whatever MAGA 2.0 or libertarian fever dream follows—can succeed if Republican, conservative, and Libertarian voters stay unengaged and apathetic to off-year and midterm elections, and no grassroots movement to save the nation can succeed id the deep-pockets of the Right ignore their responsibility to the nation that provided them the opportunity to be successful in the fucking first place.The activists, financiers, and voters of the Marxist and arrogantly ignorant Left don’t rest. They plot, they agitate, they vote; their commissars depend on it. We simply cannot be apathetic and unengaged anymore. Get off your ass, GOP, and consolidate your slates so there’s not thirteen people running at the same fucking time! Take your hands out of your pockets, money people, and start funding the local, county, and state movements. Politics trickles up, not down!And this must all start yesterday—or we need to get used to toasting victories from the opposition’s banquet.When we come back, our segment on America’s Third Watch, broadcast nationally from our flagship station WGUL, AM860 and FM93.7 in Tampa, Florida.In Closing…Miami just handed its mayor’s office to an open Democratic Socialist because only 21.3% of voters showed up. Seattle, New York, Georgia, New Jersey, Virginia: the same pattern, the same apathy.The GOP machine has proved itself useless too many times, the big donors are, evidently, either clueless or too self-absorbed, and too many of us treat off-year elections like optional chores.Here’s the brutal truth: no Trump movement, no conservative comeback, no libertarian revival survives if we keep sleeping through the fights that actually build power. The Marxist left never rests. Starting now, neither can we.Wake up, show up, or watch every city fall—watch our Republic fall, one pathetic turnout at a time.Until next time… Get full access to Underground USA at www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe

In the shadowed corridors of modern warfare, where drones swarm like locusts and missiles arc across borders with impersonal precision, a quiet revolution is unfolding. Israel’s Iron Beam, a high-powered laser defense system, stands poised to redefine the rules of engagement.As we stand on the precipice of its full deployment by December 30, 2025, this technology—born from urgency and ingenuity—offers not just a shield against immediate threats, but a beacon of hope for a world long haunted by the specter of nuclear annihilation. Developed over more than a decade by Rafael Advanced Defense Systems and Elbit Systems, Iron Beam represents Israel’s audacious leap into directed-energy weapons, transforming science fiction into frontline reality.The system’s journey has been one of relentless iteration, spurred by the brutal lessons of conflict. Unveiled in conceptual form years ago, Iron Beam accelerated after the October 7, 2023, Hamas assault, which unleashed thousands of rockets and drones, overwhelming traditional defenses. By September 2025, prototypes had already proven their mettle in combat, intercepting at least 40 Hezbollah drones in October 2024— a feat that saved civilian lives and safeguarded critical infrastructure without firing a single costly missile.Brig. Gen. (res.) Danny Gold, head of the Israel Defense Ministry’s Directorate of Defense Research & Development (MAFAT), proclaimed, “Israel is the first country in the world to present a massive operational laser capability for intercepting threats.”At its core, Iron Beam is a ground-based, 100-kilowatt fiber laser, capable of zapping rockets, mortars, and UAVs at ranges up to 10 kilometers—at the speed of light, no less. Each interception costs a mere half-dollar, akin to “turning on the lights,” as Defense Ministry Director-General Amir Baram aptly put it. This contrasts starkly with the $50,000 price tag of an Iron Dome interceptor, addressing the ammunition shortages exposed during the 12-day Iran-Israel War in June 2025, when nearly 600 Iranian missiles and over 1,000 drones tested Israel’s multilayered defenses to their limits.What elevates Iron Beam beyond tactical brilliance is its seamless integration into Israel’s existing arsenal. It doesn’t replace Iron Dome, David’s Sling, or Arrow; it augments them.Upon detecting an incoming threat, shared radar and command systems decide in seconds whether to deploy a laser zap or a kinetic missile, optimizing for cost and efficacy. Variants like Lite Beam (10 kW for vehicle mounting) and Iron Beam M (50 kW for trucks) promise mobile protection, extending this “unlimited magazine” to ground forces.Of course, challenges remain—lasers falter in adverse weather, and are untested in full-spectrum barrages like October 7—but comprehensive trials, including those validated in 2025, affirm its reliability. As Gold noted at a Tel Aviv defense summit, “The Iron Beam laser system is expected to fundamentally change the rules of engagement on the battlefield.”For Israel, besieged on multiple fronts, this isn’t just defense; it’s survival elevated to strategic supremacy.Across the Atlantic, the United States mirrors this ambition with its own directed-energy pursuits, underscoring a transatlantic synergy vital to global security. The US Army’s Indirect Fire Protection Capability-High Energy Laser (IFPC-HEL) prototype program, overseen by the Rapid Capabilities & Critical Technologies Office, is the closest analog to Iron Beam. Awarded a $221 million contract to Lockheed Martin in 2023, IFPC-HEL aims to neutralize rockets, artillery, mortars, and drones with a 300 kW-class laser, offering near-unlimited shots at pennies per engagement. By late 2025, prototypes will be in advanced testing and integration phases, with initial fielding targeted for fiscal year 2026.The US Navy’s HELIOS system, tested successfully in 2024 aboard the USS Preble against UAVs, complements this, while a 2024 congressional appropriation of $1.2 billion funneled directly to Israel’s Iron Beam procurement signals deep collaboration. Lockheed Martin’s 2022 partnership with Rafael to adapt Iron Beam for American needs hints at potential US adoption, should Israeli field trials—slated for imminent rollout—exceed expectations.Yet, as a National Defense Industrial Association report laments, the US lacks a mature laser supply chain, positioning Israel’s breakthrough as a potential catalyst for accelerated deployment. This parallel path isn’t mere duplication; it’s a promise of shared resilience, where American scale meets Israeli innovation.At its heart, Iron Beam’s promise transcends borders, whispering a profound possibility: the obsolescence of nuclear war. Directed-energy systems like this stand on the cusp of rendering nuclear arsenals relics, not through disarmament decrees, but through unassailable defense. Nuclear weapons derive their terror from assured penetration—mutually assured destruction hinges on missiles evading interception to deliver city-obliterating payloads. Iron Beam disrupts this calculus. Operating at light speed with pinpoint accuracy, lasers can engage intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) during boost phase, vaporizing warheads before separation, or midcourse, piercing decoys that confound kinetic interceptors like the US Ground-Based Midcourse Defense.Cost barriers vanish, too: a single ICBM interception via a missile might run into the millions, but lasers scale infinitely with electricity alone. In the 2025 Iran-Israel clash, Iranian barrages strained stockpiles; imagine scaling that to nuclear salvos. Coupled with space-based relays or hypersonic countermeasures, these beams could create impenetrable shields, deterring launches outright. As Baram envisions, battlefields will teem with affordable lasers, neutralizing swarms before they coalesce into existential threats. This isn’t utopian fancy—it’s physics: energy directed with precision outpaces brute force.Nuclear war, that 20th-century sword of Damocles, fades into history’s shadow, supplanted by a defensive web that renders aggression futile. Hope lies here, in the hum of fiber optics, promising a world where deterrence evolves from fear to fortitude.Yet, this dawn carries shadows.As Iron Beam and its kin mature, the West—Israel and the United States foremost—must vigilantly fortify against espionage from the 21st-century axis of adversaries: China, Russia, and to lesser degrees, Iran and North Korea. These regimes, through state-linked corporations, have honed corporate infiltration into an art of subversion. Chinese firms like Huawei have been implicated in pilfering dual-use tech, while Russian hackers target defense supply chains with impunity. Iran’s cyber units and North Korea’s illicit networks lurk as opportunistic vectors.Full-spectrum countermeasures—zero-trust architectures, AI-driven anomaly detection, and draconian export controls—are imperative. The US CHIPS Act’s safeguards and Israel’s elite Unit 8200 must expand, auditing partners ruthlessly. To let this technology slip would arm tyrants with the means to pierce free-world defenses, inverting hope into peril. Vicious guardianship isn’t paranoia; it’s stewardship of humanity’s safeguard.In weaving this future, the West confronts an internal foe: the creeping tolerance of antisemitism, especially in the United States. This venomous undercurrent erodes the very collaboration birthing Iron Beam—Jews and Israelis, engines of this innovation, face vilification that chills partnerships and stifles talent.From campus protests to online vitriol, it fractures the trust essential for joint ventures like Lockheed-Rafael. Such bigotry is anathema to progress; it severs the intellectual arteries feeding directed-energy breakthroughs.To protect the free world, America and its allies must excise this poison with unyielding resolve—through education and cultural recommitment, recalling the genocidal horrors that this sick ideology foments.Only then can we harness Iron Beam’s light—and the light of similar, more potent projects—to illuminate, not just defend.Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus…and the probability of a secure tomorrow.When we come back, our segment on America’s Third Watch, broadcast nationally from our flagship station WGUL, AM860 and FM93.7 in Tampa, Florida.In Closing…Iron Beam isn’t just another weapon; it’s the first real crack in the nuclear nightmare we’ve lived under since 1945. Light-speed, near-limitless, penny-per-shot defense is finally here, and it can turn ICBMs into expensive fireworks before they leave the atmosphere.Israel is lighting the way, America is racing to catch up, and together they’re writing the obituary for mutually assured destruction.But none of this survives if the technology leaks to Beijing or Moscow, and none of it flourishes while antisemitism is shrugged off as acceptable opinion. Guard the secrets, and guard the people who built them. The free world’s future is literally riding on a beam of light—don’t let anyone dim it.Now that’s one hell of a Christmas present…to the world.Until next time… Get full access to Underground USA at www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe

As we prepare, once again, to celebrate Christmas, a time of year where we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, peace on Earth, and goodwill towards all men, a dark alliance is crystallizing before our eyes both in the United States and across the West. Islamism, militant Marxism, and anti-Christian progressivism have coalesced in their shared disdain of the Christian foundations of Western civilization and are now openly synthesizing to dismantle them.What binds these three ideologies is not mere tactical convenience; it’s a visceral, existential loathing of the Cross; of individual conscience and of any authority higher than the totalitarian collective or theocratic caliphate. Each detests Christianity because Christianity birthed the very concepts of human dignity, free will, and limited government that now stand in their way.Islamism assaults Christianity in the public square with ever-bolder demands for supremacy. In the United States, we see Muslim-majority school boards in places like Michigan pushing to remove Easter and Christmas references while aggressively inserting Ramadan celebrations. Dearborn public schools now broadcast the Islamic call to prayer over loudspeakers, an act unthinkable for any Christian prayer.Mosques across the country, funded by Qatar and the Muslim Brotherhood, openly distribute literature calling for the eventual subjugation of “disbelievers.” The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), an organization with documented Hamas ties, sues any locale that dares reject the construction of mega-mosques and intimidates critics with accusations of “Islamophobia” until Christian symbols are stripped from public view.The goal is simple: dhimmi status for Christians, second-class citizenship under expanding sharia zones.Marxism, reborn as “Democratic Socialism” and “anti-racism,” wages war on Christianity through the capture of institutions. The Biden administration’s FBI memo labeling traditionalist Catholics “potential domestic terrorists” for attending Latin Mass was not an aberration; it was policy.Public-school curricula now teach children that Christian ethics are inherently bigoted and that the nuclear family, rooted in Christian anthropology, is a tool of White supremacy. And Corporate HR departments force employees to recite land acknowledgments and DEI pledges that implicitly condemn the Christian missionary past as genocide.The Marxist demand for total politicization of life leaves no room for the Christian distinction between the City of God and the City of Man; everything must be subordinated to the revolution.Anti-Christian progressivism, the most insidious of the three because it masquerades as “compassion,” completes the pincer movement. Drag Queen Story Hours in public libraries, funded by taxpayer dollars, are deliberate cultural norm destroyers designed to sexualize children and mock the Christian view of innocence.Laws in Canada and proposed in California threaten priests with imprisonment for refusing to use “preferred pronouns” or for teaching biblical morality in private. And the Eucharist itself is now mocked in “art” exhibits and “inclusive” church services that celebrate abortion as a sacrament.Progressivism’s core dogma—that the autonomous, transgressive self is the only god—cannot coexist with a faith that proclaims “If any man would come after me, let him deny himself.”Each of these ideologies is fundamentally incompatible with freedom, liberty, individualism, and Western culture:* Islamism demands submission (that is the literal meaning of “Islam”). There is no private conscience exempt from the ummah, no separation of mosque and state, no equality before the law between Muslim and non-Muslim. Apostasy is punishable by death, women are legally worth half a man, and the endgame is a global caliphate.* Marxism requires the abolition of private property, the destruction of the family, and the erasure of all non-class-based identity, especially religious identity. The individual is nothing; the collective is everything. Every Marxist regime in history has moved swiftly to crush the Church because Christianity teaches that man’s ultimate loyalty belongs to God, not the Party.* Anti-Christian progressivism replaces the imago Dei with the sovereign, sexually liberated consumer. It cannot tolerate a religion that speaks of sin, judgment, and objective truth. Its therapeutic-totalitarian impulse demands that every knee bow to the latest sexual orthodoxy, enforced by cancellation, deplatforming, and, increasingly, state power.History is unambiguous about where such alliances lead.Islam conquered the Christian Middle East and North Africa in the 7th–8th centuries, turning the cradle of Christianity into a wasteland of dhimmitude and demolishing churches. Spain required eight centuries of Reconquista to reclaim its Christian soul. The Balkans still bleed from five centuries of Ottoman rule.Marxism murdered over 100 million people in the 20th century. The Bolsheviks dynamited cathedrals, shot priests in the back of the head, and sent nuns to the Gulag. Mao’s Cultural Revolution saw Red Guards desecrate churches and force Christians to bow before his portrait. Every Marxist experiment ends the same way: the Church in the catacombs or the cemetery.Anti-Christian progressivism has its own bloody résumé. The French Revolution’s dechristianization campaign guillotined thousands of priests and nuns and turned Notre-Dame into a “Temple of Reason.” The Spanish Republic’s Red Terror in 1936 saw 6,800 clergy murdered in six months, their bodies mutilated and displayed. Today’s soft totalitarianism simply uses social credit scores, bank deplatforming, and child-protective services instead of firing squads.Christians—especially Catholics, who remain the largest and most visible target—and Jews, who are next on the list after the Church is broken, must wake up. This is not a culture war; it is a war of conquest with three armies marching under different banners toward the same goal: the extinction of the Christian memory of the West.Push back intelligently. Build parallel institutions. Homeschool ruthlessly. Support politicians who still fear God more than The New York Times. Refuse to fund the regime’s propaganda mills disguised as universities. Most of all, stop pretending “dialogue” and “coexistence” are possible with ideologies that have openly declared war on your faith, your family, and your freedom.Because if this nexus is not stopped, the West will suffer the same fate as Constantinople in 1453, as Russia in 1918, as Spain in 1936: the bells will fall silent, the cathedrals will become museums or mosques, and liberty will be a forgotten word.Ask yourself this question as we head into the yule tide: When we wish others peace on Earth and goodwill toward men, is everyone wishing the same thing for you and yours?The totalitarians are counting on our naïveté and our niceness.Do not oblige them.When we come back, our segment on America’s Third Watch, broadcast nationally from our flagship station WGUL, AM860 and FM93.7 in Tampa, Florida.In Closing…The bells are already cracking. Islamism, Marxism, and woke progressivism have dropped the mask and formed an open alliance against the Cross that built the free West. Their endgame is the same: submission, collectivization, and the corruption of every soul.History screams the warning: Constantinople, Moscow, Madrid; churches burned, priests slaughtered, liberty extinguished. Christians, especially Catholics, and our Jewish elder brothers must choose now: polite dialogue with totalitarians or fierce, intelligent resistance.Build the arks, teach your children, fund no enemies, vote like your freedom depends on it; because it does. The night falls fast. Do not go gently. Stand.Until next time… Get full access to Underground USA at www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe

In the wake of the November 4, 2025, off-year elections, conservatives, Libertarians, and Republicans must confront a brutal reality: the ground is shifting faster than the establishment wants to admit. Democrats and their radical Democratic Socialist allies didn’t just notch victories—they steamrolled through key races, from New York City’s mayoral upset to sweeping school board takeovers nationwide.Zohran Mamdani, that self-avowed socialist jihadi, clinched the NYC mayor’s office with 50.4% of the vote, trouncing establishment hacks like Andrew Cuomo and the hapless Curtis Sliwa. At 34, this Marxist sympathizer becomes the city’s youngest mayor in over a century and its first Muslim leader, peddling rent freezes, free buses, and wealth taxes that will bleed New York City dry.Meanwhile, Democrats flipped governorships in Virginia and New Jersey, locked down Pennsylvania’s Supreme Court seats, and rammed through California’s Proposition 50 to gerrymander five extra House seats their way.But the real gut punch? Dozens of local school board races tumbling to progressive extremists, from Douglas County, Colorado, where union-backed radicals ousted a conservative majority, to Pennsylvania’s Central Bucks County, where pro-NEA slates swept all four seats, dismantling Moms for Liberty’s hard-fought gains.These aren’t flukes; they’re flare-ups of a Leftist inferno that’s already licking at the heels of our slim majorities in the US House, Senate, and state legislatures. If Republicans and their complacent enablers don’t snap awake, 2026 midterms will be a bloodbath, and 2028 a funeral dirge for limited government.The Left’s get-out-the-vote (GOTV) machine is a juggernaut, oiled by dark money NGO cash and socialist zealotry, and it exposed Republican vulnerabilities like a scalpel. Mamdani’s win wasn’t luck—it was a masterclass in mobilization. His campaign unleashed tens of thousands of volunteers, turbocharged by digital savvy that targeted young, immigrant, and renter blocs with viral TikToks on affordability and anti-corporate rage. Turnout shattered records: over 2 million ballots, the highest for a NYC mayoral race since 1969, driven by first-time voters under 45 who backed him by 43 points.The Democratic Socialists of America crowed about municipal triumphs in Detroit, Atlanta, and Cambridge, Massachusetts, too—proof that their grassroots army doesn’t sleep. And school boards? Forget “nonpartisan” pretense. In Colorado’s Woodland Park and Mesa County, progressive coalitions, flush with teachers’ union dollars (the Denver Classroom Teachers Association alone dumped $76,809 on races), flipped conservative strongholds by promising “transparency” while plotting to indoctrinate kids with climate hysteria and gender ideology. The National Education Association boasted 77% win rates in Iowa and Colorado, turning sleepy local contests into socialist beachheads. Republicans? We showed up with limp flyers and donor luncheons. This isn’t complacency—it’s suicide. The Left’s apparatus turned out voters who see Trump as the devil, and we let them.Compounding this disaster is the mainstream media’s venomous bias, a full-throated war on anything red. Outlets like NPR and PBS framed these wins as a “Democratic cruise” and “historic night,” gushing over Mamdani’s “charisma” while sneering at Trump’s “chaotic tenure.” Their core agenda? Smear conservatives as extremists, amplify every Democrat sob story, and bury GOP successes.This hatred peaks with President Trump: Al Jazeera and CBS reveled in his failed endorsements, like backing Cuomo (whom he called a “thug”) only to watch Mamdani surge. Trump warned of a “communist” takeover—correctly—and the press twisted it into “bigotry.”Meanwhile, Republican messaging? A joke. The establishment’s tin-eared consultants peddle focus-group pabulum, ignoring how Democrats flood airwaves with affordability fairy tales. Exit polls showed Latinos breaking 2-to-1 for “moderates” like Abigail Spanberger in Virginia, but that’s code for Leftist enablers who’ll greenlight open borders and woke curricula. Without countering this narrative firehose, Republicans hand Democrats and their socialist puppeteers an unearned edge. The media isn’t neutral—it’s a Democrat super PAC, and our side’s too busy golfing with donors to fight back.Enough finger-pointing at the elites; the real indictment falls on the Republican and conservative establishments that have failed us spectacularly. These country-club consultants and beltway hacks—think McConnell’s whisper network or RNC’s fossilized strategists—have squandered Trump’s 2024 mandate with infighting and half-measures. They botched school board defenses, letting Pipeline Fund liberals pour dark money into flipping two dozen Pennsylvania seats. Complacent doesn’t cover it; it’s betrayal.Rank-and-file conservatives and Republicans—you, me, the PTA dads and chamber volunteers—must seize the reins where these failures flail. We’re the ones who know the stakes: preserving the America-first agenda that delivered booming growth, slashed taxes, fortified borders, crushed crime, and revived businesses from the Biden-Harris intentional wreckage.Trump’s administration isn’t perfect, but let’s message the wins unapologetically: Unemployment at historic lows, energy independence roaring back, illegals deported by the millions, urban crime plunging 20% in red cities. We hammered inflation from 9% to under 2%, putting groceries back in reach for working families.But the job’s half-done, and it demands ironclad Republican majorities in the House and Senate.Hammer this: Eliminate the income tax—a Libertarian dream that starves the welfare beast and empowers individuals. Codify every Trump executive order into unbreakable law: wall funding, energy deregulation, Second Amendment safeguards. Without these, socialists like Mamdani will tax us into oblivion, open borders to chaos, and teach kids to hate America.State houses too—Georgia’s utility commission flip and Pennsylvania’s court lock-in show the Left’s playbook; we can’t cede ground. Door-knock, tweet, rally: Tout achievements, torch failures, tie it to 2026 survival.Bottom line: We cannot outsource victory to the Republican apparatus. They’ve proven they’re allergic to wins beyond donor checks. Midterms? 2028? Forget relying on them—it’s “If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself.”Rank-and-file warriors, build your own GOTV machines: Neighborhood barbecues over consultant spreadsheets, X threads over MSNBC rebuttals. Channel Trump’s energy, not McCain’s milquetoast. That means advancing achievements and facts, not childish memes. These local routs—Mamdani’s socialist throne, school boards gone rogue—scream that complacency kills.Conservatives, Libertarians, Republicans: Rise up! Message ruthlessly! Vote like your Republic depends on it, because it does.The clarion call is here—answer it, or bury the dream.Catholics and Christians, reclaim your pulpits—lest Marxism’s shadow eclipse the Light.When we come back, our segment on America’s Third Watch, broadcast nationally from our flagship station WGUL, AM860 and FM93.7 in Tampa, Florida.In Closing…These local victories by Democrats and Democratic Socialists (let’s be honest, Marxists) aren’t isolated upsets; they’re the warning shot. The Left’s turnout machine is ruthless, the media is their unpaid propaganda arm, and the GOP establishment is still asleep at the wheel.Slim majorities in Congress and statehouses won’t save themselves.Rank-and-file conservatives, Libertarians, Republicans: the professionals have failed us too many times. If we want the income tax killed, Trump’s orders codified, borders sealed, and America put first, we have to deliver the message and the votes ourselves.The clarion call is blaring. Answer it, or lose everything.Until next time… Get full access to Underground USA at www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe

In an era where deceptive ideologies masquerade as compassion, it’s crucial for Catholics and Christians to discern the profound chasm between true religious charity and the insidious trap of socialism.Religious-based charity, as exemplified in Scripture, is a voluntary act of love rooted in free will—think of the Good Samaritan’s selfless aid (Luke 10:25-37) or the early Church’s sharing of goods out of genuine fellowship (Acts 2:44-45). It’s personal, driven by the Holy Spirit, and honors God’s command to love our neighbor as ourselves (Mark 12:31). Socialism, by contrast, is a coercive system where the state seizes resources through force, redistributes them via bureaucratic fiat, and erodes individual dignity.This Marxist spawn inevitably breeds totalitarianism, as history screams from the graves of millions under Stalin, Mao, and Castro. Socialism isn’t benevolence; it’s theft disguised as equality, antithetical to Christianity because it supplants God’s sovereignty with the state’s idolatry, crushing the soul’s freedom to choose virtue.At its core, socialism contradicts Christianity by denying the divine gift of free will and personal responsibility. The Bible teaches that each person is accountable before God (Romans 14:12), rewarded or judged by individual actions—not collective mandates. Socialism, with its roots in atheistic Marxism, views humans as mere cogs in a machine, promoting envy and class warfare over forgiveness and grace. It fosters dependency on government rather than reliance on Providence, turning charity into entitlement and compassion into compulsion.Totalitarianism thrives here, as the state becomes the false messiah, demanding worship through obedience. Christians must reject this poison, for it mocks the Cross by promising earthly utopia while delivering spiritual bondage. The United States, born as a Judeo-Christian nation, stands as a beacon against such tyrannies.From its genesis, America’s foundations were steeped in biblical principles. The Declaration of Independence affirms that rights are “endowed by their Creator,” echoing Genesis and the imago Dei. Signers like Samuel Adams invoked “the God of armies” in revolutionary calls, while the Constitution’s framing drew from Mosaic law and Protestant ethics. Even the motto “In God We Trust” and the Pledge’s “under God” underscore this heritage.Examples abound: Puritan covenants shaped early colonies, with John Winthrop’s “city upon a hill” from Matthew 5:14 inspiring national identity. The Founding Fathers, influenced by Locke and Montesquieu’s Christian worldview, crafted a Republic where liberty—rooted in God’s moral order—trumps state control. This Judeo-Christian ethos birthed capitalism’s fruits: innovation, prosperity, a middle class, and voluntary giving, far surpassing socialism’s famines and gulags.Yet, the siren song of globalism lures many astray, peddling a disingenuous call to communalism that inevitably slides into Marxist communism and socialism. Globalism isn’t about unity; it’s a facade for centralizing power in unelected elites, eroding national sovereignty and personal faith. It preaches “one world” benevolence but delivers totalitarian control, where borders dissolve, cultures homogenize, and the individual bows to the collective. This extends naturally to socialism’s forced equality, as seen in the UN’s agendas or the EU’s bureaucratic overreach—echoes of Babel’s hubris (Genesis 11). Christians, beware: globalism veils Marxism as “shared humanity,” but it antithesizes the Gospel’s call to personal salvation, not state-engineered paradise.Alarmingly, this deception has infiltrated the Church. A recent survey reveals that one-third of regular churchgoers favor socialism over capitalism. Specifically, among 1,003 American adults attending Christian services at least monthly, 32% prefer socialism, 46% support capitalism, and 22% remain undecided—figures unchanged since 2023. Conducted in July 2025 by the Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University under George Barna and commissioned by the Family Research Council, the poll highlights stronger socialist sympathies among younger attendees, higher-income households, African Americans, and those without a biblical worldview.Meanwhile, ideological moderates in churches have surged from 19% to 29% in two years, signaling an erosion of Scripture’s free-will principles. This infiltration reflects pulpit propaganda, where globalist messages twist charity into collectivism, betraying Christ’s teachings.When such venom—globalism, socialism, communism—emanates from the pulpit, Christians must remember: God granted us free will (Genesis 2:16-17), empowering us to discern truth. We have the absolute right to disagree with clergy, demanding homilies free from Marxist indoctrination veiled as globalist benevolence. The priesthood isn’t infallible on politics; recall Peter’s denial or historical Church errors. Faithful laity, as Vatican II affirms, share in Christ’s prophetic office—speak up! Challenge sermons that echo Das Kapital over Deuteronomy’s jubilee, which was voluntary and God-centered, not state-mandated.The American ideal of individualism, fused with e pluribus unum—out of many, one—emerged from an unlikely alliance: churches and public house taverns. Morality was honed in houses of worship, where sermons instilled biblical virtues like honesty and stewardship (Proverbs 22:1). Community, meanwhile, forged in taverns like Boston’s Green Dragon, where revolutionaries debated liberty over ale, blending faith with fraternity. This duality nurtured a society where individuals pursued God-given potential, united not by force but shared values—an antidote to socialism’s hive-mind tyranny.It’s time Christian clergy cease in their promotion of socialism and communism’s destructive tenets, even if it is couched as globalist benevolence. These ideologies have slaughtered innocents, starved souls, and mocked God.Instead, America’s Christian clergy must reinforce doctrine elevating individual morality: the parable of the talents (Matthew 25:14-30) praises personal initiative, not redistribution. Preach self-reliance under God, voluntary charity, and resistance to totalitarianism.Catholics and Christians, reclaim your pulpits—lest Marxism’s shadow eclipse the Light.When we come back, our segment on America’s Third Watch, broadcast nationally from our flagship station WGUL, AM860 and FM93.7 in Tampa, Florida.In Closing…Socialism isn’t charity—it’s theft wrapped in false compassion, a Marxist poison that crushes free will, exalts the state above God, and drags souls into totalitarian darkness. America was founded on Judeo-Christian truth, not globalist lies. Yet, stunningly, one-third of churchgoers now flirt with this evil.Demand your pulpits preach Christ, not communism. Reject the comrade’s whisper of “global benevolence.” Embrace biblical individualism, voluntary love, and the Cross alone. Stand firm, speak boldly, defend the faith.This is our watch. God bless you, and God bless the United States of America, the land of the free He created.Until next time… Get full access to Underground USA at www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe

In a stunning display of partisan desperation, six Democrat lawmakers with military or intelligence backgrounds—Senators Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) and Mark Kelly (D-AZ), along with Representatives Jason Crow (D-CO), Chrissy Houlahan (D-PA), Chris Deluzio (D-PA), and Maggie Goodlander (D-NH)—released a video entitled “Don’t Give Up the Ship” on November 18th. In it, they directly addressed active-duty service members and intelligence personnel, reminding them of their oath to the Constitution and their duty to refuse “unlawful orders.”This came amid President Trump’s deployment of National Guard forces to quell violent crime in Democrat-run cities like Los Angeles, Portland, Chicago, and potentially others. President Trump rightly condemned this as “seditious behavior at the highest level,” labeling the lawmakers “traitors” whose actions endanger the chain of command and national stability.To wit: those who cloak their political opposition in faux concern for the Constitution while actively undermining civilian control of the military are the real threat to the Republic.To understand why this intervention is so pernicious, one must first grasp what constitutes a truly “unlawful order” under US military law. The Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) and longstanding precedent make clear that service members are obligated to disobey orders that are manifestly illegal—that is, orders that clearly violate the Constitution, federal law, or the laws of war, where no reasonable person could believe them lawful. The Department of Defense Law of War Manual and court-martial precedents emphasize that the illegality must be patent and palpable. Classic examples include orders to commit war crimes, such as murdering unarmed civilians or prisoners.History provides sobering illustrations. The most infamous US case is the 1968 My Lai Massacre during the Vietnam War, where Lieutenant William Calley ordered and participated in the slaughter of hundreds of unarmed Vietnamese villagers. Calley’s defense—“I was only following orders”—was rejected; he was convicted of premeditated murder because the order to kill non-combatants was manifestly unlawful. The courts-martial of Calley and Captain Ernest Medina reaffirmed that “superior orders” is no defense to obvious crimes.Similarly, post-World War II Nuremberg Trials established that Nazi officers could not hide behind Hitler’s directives to exterminate Jews or execute prisoners—such orders were void ab initio. In American jurisprudence, cases like United States v. Keenan (1969) further solidified that an order to commit a serious crime against civilians carries no legitimacy. These are not gray-area policy disputes; they are blatant criminal acts.Sedition, by contrast, strikes at the heart of governmental authority without necessarily involving overt violence. Under 18 USC § 2384, seditious conspiracy occurs when two or more persons conspire to oppose by force the authority of the United States, to prevent or delay the execution of any law, or to seize federal property. Historical examples include the 1861 convictions of Confederate sympathizers who plotted to disrupt Union operations, the Puerto Rican nationalist attack on Blair House in 1950, and more contemporary instances where state and local officials in “sanctuary” jurisdictions have systematically refused to honor ICE detainers or cooperate with federal immigration enforcement, deliberately obstructing the execution of duly enacted immigration laws and releasing dangerous criminal aliens back into communities—actions that federal authorities have repeatedly condemned as endangering public safety and defying the Supremacy Clause.Treason is the gravest offense, narrowly defined in Article III, Section 3 of the Constitution: “Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.” The Framers deliberately made it difficult to prove, requiring two witnesses to the same overt act or a confession in open court.There have been fewer than 40 treason prosecutions in US history and even fewer convictions. Aaron Burr was acquitted in 1807 despite allegations of plotting to detach western territories. During World War II, the Rosenberg spy ring was convicted of espionage (not treason) for passing atomic secrets to the Soviet Union, while Tokyo Rose (Iva Toguri) was controversially convicted of treason for wartime broadcasts but later pardoned. The narrow definition exists precisely to prevent its weaponization in partisan fights.Herein lies the outrage: partisan political and ideological differences cannot form the basis for claiming an order is unlawful. Deploying federal forces to restore order in crime-ravaged cities—authorized under the Insurrection Act and other statutes—is a quintessential executive prerogative, not a war crime. Encouraging uniformed personnel to second-guess the Commander-in-Chief based on Democrat talking points about “threats to the Constitution originating domestically” is not principled oath-keeping; it is a veiled call for insubordination.When elected officials with security clearances use their former service as a bully pulpit to tell troops and spooks they may ignore presidential directives they dislike, they come perilously close to both sedition (opposing lawful authority by force or coercion) and treason (undermining the government they swore to defend). This is not “reminding” anyone of their duty—it is politicizing the military and intelligence communities, risking the very chain of command that has kept America strong for 250 years.The hypocrisy of the activist Left is breathtaking. These same voices who spent years shrieking about “stochastic terrorism” and demanding that conservatives “tone down the caustic political rhetoric” after every tragedy now openly incite refusal of lawful presidential orders. They cheered when generals penned op-eds against Trump in 2020, celebrated “resistance” inside the bureaucracy, and remained silent when Antifa and BLM rioters burned cities while Democrats called them “mostly peaceful.”Yet the moment a Republican president uses constitutional tools to enforce the law, they cry fascism and urge mutiny. They demand their opponents stay silent and “accept the results” only when it suits them, but never adhere to their own preached civility. If any faction is flirting with a second US Civil War through relentless institutional subversion, erosion of norms, and now direct appeals to the military and clandestine services to defy civilian leadership, it is the ideological activist Left. Their actions are not patriotic dissent—they are the behavior of sore losers, color revolutionaries, and anarchists willing to fracture the Republic rather than accept electoral defeat.America’s military swears an oath to the Constitution, not to any party or politician. When lawmakers abuse that oath to wage partisan warfare, they betray everything they claim to protect.President Trump is right: such conduct demands accountability, lest we descend into the banana-republic chaos the Left falsely accuses others of wanting but which, I suspect, they secretly desire.When we come back, our segment on America’s Third Watch, broadcast nationally from our flagship station WGUL, AM860 and FM93.7 in Tampa, Florida.In Closing…In the end, urging America’s warriors and intelligence personnel to defy their Commander-in-Chief’s orders over mere policy disagreements isn’t noble oath-keeping—it’s textbook sedition dressed in patriotic drag.When Democrat lawmakers weaponize the uniform they once wore to sow mutiny, they don’t defend the Constitution; they assault it. Their selective outrage—silent on sanctuary cities sabotaging immigration law, deafening when a Republican president restores order—reeks of hypocrisy so thick it could choke Lady Liberty herself.If anyone is stoking division toward a second Civil War, it’s the activist Left that preaches “tone it down” while lighting rhetorical fuses. True patriots obey lawful orders and settle scores at the ballot box, not by fracturing the chain of command and attempting to fracture the Republic.Until next time… Get full access to Underground USA at www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe

In the dim corridors of American democracy, where the fluorescent hum of complacency once drowned out the whispers of subversion, a crimson specter now stirs. The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), that self-anointed vanguard of “progress,” gleefully tout their latest electoral conquests as harbingers of a benevolent new dawn.Zohran Mamdani’s seismic victory in New York City, part of a coast-to-coast socialist surge that netted DSA-endorsed candidates a staggering 12 wins in the 2025 cycle—four in New York alone—has the far-Left champagne corks popping. Municipal upsets in Connecticut, where DSA acolytes like Hamden’s Abdul Osmanu clung to their council seats under the Democratic banner, only underscore the rot. Nationwide, these “sweeping victories” have ignited feverish op-eds hailing a “red sun rising” over the body politic.But peel back the veneer of these so-called triumphs, and what emerges is no mere ideological shift—it’s the meticulously orchestrated creep of a slow-motion color revolution, engineered by Marxist-Progressives hell-bent on dismantling the Republic from within. Forget the street theater of molotovs and barricades; this is revolution by ballot box and backroom deal, a Trojan horse of equity-speak and grievance politics that the complicit Democrat establishment—and let’s throw in the political opportunist RINOs—has not only failed to quarantine but actively abetted. The DSA isn’t reforming America; it’s recolonizing it, one “democratic” concession at a time.To grasp this insidious ploy, one must first demystify the Democratic Socialist facade. Deceptively couched as a “big tent” for millennials disillusioned with corporate greed, the DSA is little more than Marxism’s millennial makeover—Karl with a kale smoothie, Lenin lite for the latte-sipping set.Founded in 1982 amid the ashes of Cold War socialism’s global humiliations, it has ballooned to over 90,000 members by cynically co-opting the language of justice while peddling the same collectivist poison that starved millions in the 20th century. Their “successes”? A grotesque parody of electoral legitimacy.Recall Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s 2018 upset in New York’s 14th District, where she ousted a 10-term incumbent not on policy merit but through viral TikTok posts and astroturf outrage. Fast-forward to 2025, and Mamdani’s win is hailed as a masterclass in mobilizing “non-voters.” This was less about voter empowerment than demographic demagoguery—courting immigrant blocs—many enabled to vote illegally courtesy of New York State’s ridiculous voter registration laws—with promises of open borders and rent control that would bankrupt urban cores.In blue strongholds, DSA insurgents routinely knife moderate Democrats in primaries, turning safe seats into socialist beachheads. The Squad—Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, and their rotating cast of Marxist radicals—now boasts a stranglehold on congressional committees, where they sabotage bipartisan deals with performative filibusters on “climate justice” and “reparations.”This isn’t organic populism; it’s the classic playbook of a color revolution, adapted for the American exceptionalism it despises. Traditional color uprisings, from Serbia’s Bulldozer Revolution to Ukraine’s Orange tide, relied on NGO- and government-agency-fueled youth mobilization and media psyops to topple autocrats.Here, the Marxist-Progressives have inverted the script: instead of foreign meddlers like George Soros (though his Open Society fingerprints are everywhere), it’s domestic infiltration via academia, unions, and Big Tech. Universities, bloated with tenure-track Trotskyites, churn out DSA foot soldiers—think the Young Democratic Socialists of America, whose ranks swelled post-2024 amid Trump’s shadow, registering “disenfranchised” youth to flood polls with anti-capitalist fervor.State-level wins, like DSA-backed legislators in California pushing for “universal basic income” that masks wealth redistribution as welfare, erode property rights under the guise of equity. Nationally, Bernie Sanders’ twice-failed presidential bids weren’t defeats but Trojan horses, injecting “Medicare for All” into the Democrat bloodstream and priming the pump for 2025’s municipal muggings.The complicity of the Democrat old guard—and the politically opportunistic apathy of the establishment Republican apparatus, so mired in their set ways they couldn’t recognize a color revolution if they were face-painted in it—is the revolution’s secret sauce; treacherous enablers who trade principles for power.Nancy Pelosi’s once-iron grip on the House frayed as she greenlit DSA firebrands into leadership roles, muttering platitudes about “diversity” while they gutted the party’s centrist soul. Joe Biden’s 2020 “Build Back Better” was less infrastructure than ideological surrender, laced with Green New Deal fever dreams that ballooned deficits and empowered socialist caucuses. Even as DSA radicals like Cori Bush face primary purges (a rare self-inflicted wound), the establishment Democrats nod along, terrified of being branded “corporate shills” in the Twitter trenches. And don’t get me started on unmitigated assholes like Mitch McConnell, Susan Collins, and Lisa Murkowski, three of the far-Left’s biggest enablers for their selfishness and stupidity.This is the color revolution’s genius: co-opt the opposition, then consume it. In New York, where Mamdani’s triumph has already spawned a litter of DSA successors eyeing his assembly seat, the party’s moderates and milquetoast “loyal opposition” are mere speed bumps on the road to one-party red rule.Lest we romanticize this as mere political Darwinism, consider the endgame: a hollowed-out America, where free markets yield to state serfdom, speech to sensitivity commissars, and borders to balkanization. DSA’s “wins” aren’t victories for the working class, but rather vindication and re-ascendance for the vanguard elite—professors and podcasters who lecture from air-conditioned ivory towers while preaching austerity for thee but not for me. Their economic prescriptions? A buffet of fiscal suicide: nationalized healthcare that rations care like Soviet bread lines, “just transition” green policies that torch fossil fuel jobs without viable alternatives, and student debt forgiveness that inflates currency while excusing indoctrination mills. In 2025’s runoffs, with two more DSA hopefuls poised to pounce, the slow boil accelerates—two runoffs that could entrench this cabal further.Critics will scoff, branding this accurate observation as McCarthyite paranoia. But history whispers otherwise: every Marxist ascent began with “democratic” footholds—Allende in Chile, Corbyn in Britain, Castro in Cuba—before the masks slipped. The far-Left’s advocates, from campus Deans to MSNBC mouthpieces, amplify this mirage, gaslighting the public with narratives of non-existent “systemic oppression” to justify systemic overthrow. Complicit Democrats and their stooge Republicans, drunk on donor dollars and delusions of control, fiddle as the Republic burns.America stands at the precipice. The DSA’s electoral mirage must be shattered—not with censorship, but clarity through the advancement of accurate information voters can consume. Expose the color revolution for what it is: a predatory ploy to paint the Stars & Stripes in hammer-and-sickle hues. Rally the silent majority, fortify institutions against infiltration, and reclaim the Democrat Party from its socialist squatters.For in this slow siege, vigilance is not vice—it’s victory. The red tide may lap at our shores, but it will not drown the land of the free. Not if we fight.When we come back, our segment on America’s Third Watch, broadcast nationally from our flagship station WGUL, AM860 and FM93.7 in Tampa, Florida.In Closing…As the echoes of Democratic Socialists of America’s electoral mirages fade, remember: this isn’t progress—it’s predation. The Marxist-Progressives’ slow-burning color revolution creeps through ballot boxes stained with grievance ink, co-opting Democrats and their stooge Republicans into unwitting accomplices.From Mamdani’s urban conquests to the Squad’s congressional stranglehold, they’re not uplifting the forgotten; they’re forging chains of state serfdom, rationed rights, and red-tinted ruin.America must awaken from this crimson complacency. Shatter the facade before the free market falls and the Republic’s fire dims to socialist ash.Stand vigilant and reclaim your voice—because in this siege, surrender is suicide.

In an era where the West sleepwalks toward its own undoing, it’s high time we peel back the veneer of “progressive” idealism and “spiritual” piety to reveal the grotesque underbelly of two ideologies that have poisoned the 20th Century and now conspire to devour the 21st. Marxism and Islamism—those seductive sirens of collectivist utopia and divine absolutism—aren’t distant cousins; they’re identical twins, suckled on the same venomous teat of authoritarianism and totalitarianism. Both promise paradise on earth (or in the afterlife, for the theocratic flavor), but deliver only chains, gulags, and graveyards. To ignore their eerie parallels is not just naive; it’s suicidal.Let’s dissect this unholy symbiosis, layer by bloody layer, and arm ourselves with the unflinching truth before it’s too late.At their core, both ideologies are rotten with the delusion of infallibility, a god-complex that brooks no contradiction. Marxism, that bastard child of Hegelian dialectics and proletarian envy, posits history as an inexorable march toward communist bliss, where the vanguard party—self-appointed shepherds of the masses—holds the divine right to purge dissenters. Karl Marx himself, in his fevered scribblings, envisioned a classless society forged in the fires of revolution, but what emerged was the iron fist of Lenin and Stalin, who understood that utopia demands uniformity.Dissent? A counter-revolutionary sin, punishable by Siberian exile or a bullet to the brain. Fast-forward to Mao’s Cultural Revolution, where millions were “re-educated” through terror, their thoughts dissected like lab rats to ensure alignment with the Party line.Islamism, the politicized perversion of a faith that once sparked enlightenment, mirrors this with chilling precision. Drawing from the Quran’s unyielding commands and Muhammad’s Medina playbook—where opposition meant exile or execution—modern Islamists like the Muslim Brotherhood’s Sayyid Qutb recast jihad as a total societal overhaul. Sharia isn’t mere law; it’s a totalitarian blueprint, infiltrating every crevice of life from diet to doctrine.Apostasy? Blasphemy? These are Marxism’s “bourgeois deviations” rebranded as kufr, warranting fatwas, floggings, or beheadings. Iran’s ayatollahs, those smirking mullahs in saffron robes, enforce this with the same zeal as Soviet commissars, jailing poets for “insulting Islam” while their youth rot in Evin Prison’s digital panopticon.Both systems worship the collective over the soul: the ummah for Islamists, the proletariat for Marxists. Individual rights? Laughable relics of bourgeois decadence, to be trampled under the boot of “greater good.”Economically, their authoritarian strangleholds are Frankenstein’s monsters stitched from control and coercion. Marxism’s central planning—those five-year mirages of abundance—starved Ukraine in the Holodomor and choked China’s Great Leap Forward into a famine that devoured 45 million lives. Private property is the opiate of the exploiters, seized by the state to “liberate” the workers, who end up serfs on collective farms. Islamism, no less rapacious, invokes zakat and usury bans not for charity but to funnel wealth into clerical and jihadist coffers. Saudi Wahhabism funds madrasas that churn out suicide bombers, while Hamas’s Gaza fiefdom diverts aid into tunnel-building ant-farms of terror.Both disdain free markets as satanic temptations: Marxism decries capitalism’s “alienation,” Islamism rails against riba-fueled “decadence.” The result? Stagnant economies where innovation withers under fat bureaucratic thumbs, and the masses subsist on propaganda rations of resentment.Propaganda, ah, the lifeblood of these leviathans. Both wield narrative as a weapon sharper than any scimitar or sickle. Marxist regimes mastered the art with Pravda’s fairy tales and Hollywood’s unwitting echoes in “progressive” agitprop, rewriting history to saint Stalin while airbrushing Trotsky from photos. Islamism counters with dawah’s honeyed lies and Al Jazeera’s slick spins, portraying burqa-clad oppression as “empowerment” and suicide bombings as “resistance.”Taqiyya—deceptive piety—dovetails with Marxist “united fronts,” where Islamists cozy up to Western Leftists, feigning victimhood to mask their supremacist snarls. Schools in both spheres indoctrinate from cradle to caliphate: Soviet youth pledged allegiance to Lenin, while Islamist hafezs memorize surahs that glorify conquest. Critical thinking? A virus to be vaccinated against with mindless recitations and reified rage.Their totalitarian tentacles extend to the family, the arts, even the bedroom—nothing escapes the gaze of the Great Leader or the All-Seeing Allah-as-enforced-by-man. Marxism’s “new socialist man” demanded gender quotas that masked the erasure of womanhood, as seen in East Germany’s Stasi-monitored nurseries. Islamism’s honor codes castrates critics and stones adulteresses—and women who bear that label because they couldn’t find four male witnesses to a rape to prove they were raped, enforcing hijab as a uniform of submission.Both glorify martyrdom: the red flag over martyrs’ graves, the green banner over shahid’s paradise. Violence isn’t aberration; it’s sacrament. From the Khmer Rouge’s killing fields to ISIS’s Yazidi slave markets, the body count screams a shared DNA of dehumanization.Yet, for all their mirrored monstrosities, the true horror unfolds in their coalescence—a “red-green” hydra slithering toward Western gates.Picture it: Antifa militants chanting “from the river to the sea” alongside Hamas apologists at campus quad-insurrections; “Chomskynistas” platforming Hezbollah hacks; Western academics peddling “decolonization” that launders Islamist theocracy as anti-imperialism. This isn’t coincidence; it’s convergence.Marxism’s anti-capitalist ire finds a zealous bedfellow in Islamism’s anti-Western jihad, united against the Enlightenment’s bastard heirs: liberal democracy, representative government, freedom, and individualism. They’ve infiltrated NGOs, unions, and Silicon Valley echo chambers, where “inclusivity” means silencing Islamophobia critiques while excusing Marxist-Leninist “struggles.” Europe’s no-go zones and America’s DEI dogmas are canaries in the coal mine—precursors to “sharia soviets.”We must awaken to this assault, not with hand-wringing platitudes, but with a counter-revolution of clarity. Realize, first, that these aren’t “religions” or “philosophies” deserving kid-gloves; they’re ideologies of conquest, as predatory as Nazism ever was.To confront them, we must capture the narrative: flood discourse with unvarnished history—show the Holodomor reels beside beheading videos, juxtapose Gulag memoirs with Rushdie fatwas. Educate the ignorant, those TikTok-addled millennials and Zoomer activists who’ve swallowed the oppressor-oppressed binary whole. Arm them with books like Solzhenitsyn’s Gulag Archipelago and Ibn Warraq’s Why I Am Not a Muslim, not to hate, but to liberate minds from disingenuous utopian traps.This is existential. The West’s fortress—built on reason, rights, and irreverence—crumbles if we let these twins entwine.Rise, then: debate fiercely, vote vigilantly, build alliances of the unbowed. For in naming the beast, we starve it. In enlightening the duped, we dismantle it. The hour is late, but the pen—and the truth—remains mightier than their scythes and swords. Let us wield it without mercy.When we come back, our segment on America’s Third Watch, broadcast nationally from our flagship station WGUL, AM860 and FM93.7 in Tampa, Florida.In Closing…As we wrap up this dive into the mirrored monstrosities of Marxism and Islamism, remember: these aren’t abstract threats—they’re a red-green alliance slithering through our institutions, eroding the West’s soul with every unchallenged lie. Their shared hunger for control, from thought police to sharia squads, demands we stop whispering and start roaring.Capture the narrative now: flood feeds with raw history, arm the misled with unfiltered truths. Educate relentlessly, debate without apology. The Enlightenment’s fire flickers—fan it before the twins snuff it out. Stand unbowed. The fight isn’t coming; it’s here. Join it.Until next time… Get full access to Underground USA at www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe

In the wake of the November 5, 2025, elections, the political landscape offers a stark reminder of the perils facing our Constitutional Republic. Republicans and conservatives lamented predictable setbacks, but these aren’t just losses—they’re self-inflicted wounds born from a chronic failure to seize and wield the power of narrative.As we barrel toward the 2026 midterms and the pivotal 2028 General Election, it’s time for a brutal reckoning: If we don’t get exponentially better at capturing the message, owning the story, and relentlessly hammering our enemies into irrelevance, the Marxist-Progressive Left will continue its insidious march toward domination. The Democrats, those enablers of radicalism, and their Marxist-Progressive overlords—now emboldened by their alliances with Islamofascist elements—thrive on chaos and deception. We must become the aggressors in the information war, or watch our nation dissolve into a socialist dystopia.Let’s start with the obvious: The losses in New Jersey and Virginia on November 5 were entirely foreseeable. Both states have long been bastions of blue tyranny, infested with urban elites and suburban sheep who reliably vote for big-government handouts and cultural decay. New Jersey, with its history of corrupt Democrat machines, and Virginia, poisoned by the proximity to Washington’s swamp, were never going to flip without a Herculean effort.Yet, these defeats sting not because they were surprises, but because they expose the complacency of the Right. We allowed the Democrats to frame the races as referendums on Trump while ignoring that it is their own party that refuses to reopen government, letting their Marxist-Progressive puppets spew lies about equity and inclusion, while Republicans and conservatives mumbled about taxes and crime.In Virginia, the Left’s gender ideology indoctrination in schools went unchallenged in the narrative space, allowing them to portray conservatives as bigots. New Jersey’s economic woes? Buried under an avalanche of Democrat ads painting Republicans as heartless, even as it is the culmination of Leftist policies that have destroyed that economy. These weren’t inevitable; they were gifts to the enemy because we failed to dominate the discourse.Even more galling is the election of Zohran Mamdani as New York City Mayor—a Marxist-Progressive Jihadi whose victory was as predictable as it is disastrous. New York, that cesspool of ignorant Leftist excess, handed the keys to a radical who openly sympathizes with anti-American ideologies. But what of the choices voters had? Curtis Sliwa, the perennial spoiler with his Guardian Angels schtick and a new cat book, couldn’t muster a coherent message beyond nostalgia, and disgraced former Governor Andrew Cuomo, reeking of scandal and hypocrisy—his hands dripping with blood from the COVID scamdemic, was a laughable retread. The field was a joke, allowing Mamdani to waltz in on a platform of “social justice” that masks his true agenda: dismantling capitalism and cozying up to Islamist sympathizers. The Left owned this narrative from day one, branding their man as a fresh voice against “fascism,” while we sat on our hands.Mamdani’s win isn’t just a local tragedy; it’s a national harbinger of the Marxist-Islamofascist alliance gaining ground in our cities.The larger truth here is damning: these losses represent squandered opportunities to advance constitutionally centered, conservative governance. Opportunity after opportunity slips away because Republicans, conservatives, and even the MAGA movement—to a lesser but still critical extent—simply don’t grasp the primacy of narrative control. We treat politics like a gentleman’s debate club, while the Left plays for keeps, weaponizing every headline, tweet, and soundbite to bludgeon us.They capture the message by flooding the zone with propaganda: “Republicans hate women,” “Conservatives are racists,” “MAGA is insurrectionist.” And what do we do? Respond tepidly, if at all, allowing their lies to fester. For a fleeting moment, I thought we had turned a corner, when Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, that bloated symbol of platinum spoon-in-the-ass Democrat entitlement, complained that the Trump administration was “beating Democrats to the microphones” on the subject of immigration enforcement, capturing the narrative in the Chicago media. But that didn’t last long. They regrouped and attacked again and again, as we often fail to do.The MAGA energy under Trump showed promise—raw, unapologetic—but even that often devolves into infighting rather than unified assault. We must become relentless: Own the narrative by defining terms first. Call out the Democrats’ Marxist-Progressive wing for what it is—a cabal of power-hungry ideologues hell-bent on erasing borders, families, and freedoms. Bludgeon them intellectually into obscurity by exposing their hypocrisies each and every day, from their “defund the police” stupidity to their embrace of gender madness that endangers children.To salvage our Republic from the grand, ongoing march of Marxism and Islamofascism, our mastery of messaging is non-negotiable. The general public must be crystal clear on every issue: Inflation? Blame Biden-Harris’s socialist spending sprees. Crime waves? Courtesy of soft-on-crime DAs funded by Soros and his satellite clone organizations. Border chaos? The Cloward-Piven Left’s invitation to cartels and terrorists. We own the narrative by dominating the public square—cyber and real. Beat the Democrats to every camera and microphone; flood social media with facts, not feelings or useless memes. Keep the pressure on, never relenting—turn their scandals into endless loops, like Hunter Biden’s laptop or Kamala’s cackles. The Marxist-Progressives excel at this; they frame abortion as “reproductive rights” while we stutter about life. No more! We must educate, agitate, and dominate, ensuring the silent majority sees the Left for the tyrants they are.Finally, we must seed the ground for the post-Trump era. Trump’s revolution ignited the fire, but this counter-revolution against Marxism and Islamofascism must endure eternally. Failing to prepare successors—readying leaders like Ron DeSantis or JD Vance with narrative savvy—dooms us. If we don’t set the stage, scripting, preparing, and dominating with the message of liberty, security, and prosperity, we’ll reap a harvest of Mamdani’s: Radical mayors, governors, and even presidents peddling division and decline.The 2026 midterms are our proving ground; 2028, our battle royale. Republicans, conservatives, MAGA—wake up. Capture the narrative and keep it, or surrender the Republic to the Marxist-Islamofascist horde.When we come back, our segment on America’s Third Watch, broadcast nationally from our flagship station WGUL, AM860 and FM93.7 in Tampa, Florida.In Closing…As we wrap up today’s episode, remember: The losses in New Jersey and Virginia, and New York City’s election of Marxist-Progressive Jihadi Zohran Mamdani were predictable in traditional blue strongholds, thanks to weak alternatives.But worse, these were missed opportunities for the expansion of constitutional conservatism because Republicans and conservatives lack the ability–the will–needed to capture and hold narratives relentlessly.We must dominate messaging, beat the Left to every mic, expose their Marxist-Islamofascist march, and clarify issues like inflation and crime as Democrat failures. We must prepare for post-Trump by readying and supporting narrative-savvy leaders, or we’ll see more Mamdanis in more cities across the country and, perhaps, even in the White House…again.Until next time… Get full access to Underground USA at www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe

Marxism, at its core, is antithetical to freedom and individual liberty. Born from the fevered mind of Karl Marx, it envisions a world where the state crushes personal initiative under the boot of collective control, redistributing wealth not through merit but through coercive equality. History screams its failures: millions dead in gulags, economies in ruins, and societies stripped of innovation. Yet, this toxic ideology has wormed its way into the heart of the Democrat Party via the Progressive Movement, masquerading as “reform” while eroding America’s foundational principles of limited government and self-reliance.The infiltration began in the Wilson era, when Progressivism served as Marxism’s Trojan horse. Woodrow Wilson, the Democrat president from 1913 to 1921, openly praised socialism in his writings, viewing it as compatible with democracy while advocating for expansive government intervention. Progressives pushed for regulations that centralized power, from the Federal Reserve to income taxes, framing them as “social justice” but laying the groundwork for state dominance over private enterprise. This era’s radicals, including socialists cooperating with Democrats, blurred lines between reform and revolution, allowing Marxist ideas to seep into party platforms. Wilson’s administration even cracked down on true socialists like Eugene V. Debs, not out of opposition to their ideology, but to consolidate power under a progressive facade.Fast-forward to the 1960s, where Lyndon B. Johnson’s “Great Society” amplified this subversion. LBJ, a Democrat icon—courtesy of John F. Kennedy’s assassination, unleashed a torrent of welfare programs that critics rightly labeled as Marxist-inspired dependency machines. The War on Poverty, Medicare, and Medicaid ballooned government spending, fostering a culture of entitlement that echoed Marx’s call for wealth redistribution. Radical groups like Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) radicalized further, embracing orthodox Marxism and stressing class struggle. This era’s Marxist influence infiltrated Democrat policies, creating generational poverty traps and eroding family structures—hallmarks of communism’s assault on individual liberty.By the Clinton era, the mask refined itself. Bill Clinton’s “Third Way” politics blended neoliberalism with progressive rhetoric, but beneath it lurked Marxist undertones. Critics dubbed him a “Marxist monster“ for foreign policies that echoed socialist gradualism, cooperating with unions and advancing regulations that stifled free markets. The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), nothing but a thin veil for Marxism, gained traction, promoting “democratic socialism” as a palatable rebrand of class warfare. DSA’s eclectic nature hides its roots in abolishing private ownership, a direct Marxist tenet, fooling voters into supporting incremental state control.The Obama years escalated the descent into Marxism’s tyrannical grip. Barack Obama, with ties to communist mentors and Marxist literature, implemented policies like Obamacare that centralized healthcare, mirroring socialist command economies. His slogan “Forward!“ echoed European Marxist radicals, signaling a march toward collectivism. Regulations exploded, businesses were vilified as oppressors, and cultural Marxism infiltrated education and media, dividing Americans along identity lines to distract from economic subjugation.Under Biden, the infiltration reached fever pitch. His administration’s “Bidenomics” pushed socialist wish lists: massive spending on green agendas, debt forgiveness, and equity programs that punish success. Critics decry it as stealth socialism, with policies like vaccine mandates abroad echoing Marxist racial theories. The harm is evident: inflation soared, borders eroded, and dependency deepened, all under progressive guises.This culminates in the 2025 NYC mayoral race, where DSA-endorsed Zohran Mamdani, a self-proclaimed democratic socialist, shockingly exists as a frontrunner. Mamdani’s campaign, centered on affordability through government intervention, exemplifies how Marxism hides behind “working-class” rhetoric, threatening New York’s economy with rent controls and wealth taxes that stifle liberty.The destruction from this Marxist creep is profound. Culturally, it has fostered division, with “oppressor-oppressed” narratives leading to societal breakdown and minimized personal responsibility. Economically, welfare states like LBJ’s have trapped millions in poverty, ballooning national debt to $35 trillion and eroding innovation. In San Francisco, progressive “justice” experiments—Marxist in essence—resulted in rampant crime and homelessness, a microcosm of failed state control. Globally, U.S. weakness under Democrat regimes invited aggression, from Vietnam to Afghanistan, harming national security and prestige.Opponents argue Democrats aren’t truly Marxist, citing Biden’s denials or Clinton’s centrism. But actions betray words: policies consistently expand state power, aligning with Marx’s vision.It’s time to reject Marxism in all forms—at every level. Recognize the counter-revolution underway: the Trump administration’s war against the Deep State, dismantling bureaucratic overreach and restoring limited government. Trump’s executive orders slash regulations, expose Marxist infiltrators, and champion free markets, pulling America back toward true liberty. In the 21st century, this fight isn’t optional—it’s essential to preserve the Republic.When we come back, our segment on America’s Third Watch, broadcast nationally from our flagship station WGUL, AM860 and FM93.7 in Tampa, Florida.In Closing…As we’ve exposed Marxism’s insidious grip on the Democrat Party via Progressivism—from Wilson to LBJ’s, the Clintons to Obama, and Biden to now Mamdani’s Democratic Socialists of America-backed NYC bid—its antithetical assault on freedom is undeniable.This infiltration has wrought havoc: ballooning debt, eroded borders, stifled innovation, rampant crime in “progressive” cities, and divided societies trapped in victimhood. Democratic Socialism? A flimsy disguise for Marxist class warfare.We must all take a stand and reject Marxism in all guises, at every level. Rally to the counter-revolution underway—the Trump administration’s war on the Deep State, reclaiming limited government and genuine liberty for the 21st century. America’s soul demands it. Our Republic cannot survive without it.Until next time… Get full access to Underground USA at www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe

The Affordable Care Act—Obamacare—was rammed through Congress in 2010 by a corrupt Marxist-Progressive Democrat machine that sneered at bipartisan input and bullied dissenters into silence. Fifteen years later, with premium hikes of 20–40 percent looming for 2026, the program’s abstract failure is no longer theoretical; it is a daily torment for millions of Americans who were promised utopia and handed a bill. The only unambiguous winners are the health-insurance cartels and Big Pharma, the very industries that ghost-wrote the 2,700-page monstrosity in smoke-filled back rooms.Start with the ledger of beneficiaries. Insurance giants—UnitedHealth, Anthem, Aetna, Humana—saw their stock prices triple within five years of passage. They lobbied for the individual mandate, the Medicaid expansion, and the risk-corridor bailouts that funneled taxpayer dollars straight into their coffers when their actuarial bets soured. Big Pharma, meanwhile, secured a ban on Medicare drug-price negotiation (which President Trump is confronting) and a guaranteed customer base of 20 million newly subsidized souls. The rest of us? We got higher deductibles, narrower networks, and the privilege of subsidizing this corporate welfare state.The imbecilic and corrupt Left crowed that 20 million “newly insured” would make America healthier. Instead, it simply overcrowded every waiting room from Bangor to San Diego. “Wellness visits”—free under Obamacare—became a federally subsidized hobby for the worried well, who now camp out for blood-pressure checks that used to cost $20 cash. Illegal immigrants, quietly folded into state exchanges and emergency Medicaid rolls, further clogged the system.A 2023 Commonwealth Fund study admitted average wait times for new-patient appointments had doubled since 2010; rural hospitals shuttered 140 facilities in the same span. More coverage, less care—exactly the Soviet bread-line outcome the central planners never admit.The original sales pitch was based on two bald-faced lies: premiums would fall by $2,500 per family, and “if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor.” Both exploded on contact with reality. The average family premium has nearly tripled since 2013, from $5,800 to $16,400, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation. Deductibles now routinely exceed $8,000—money patients must spend before the “insurance” kicks in, rendering the policy a catastrophic coupon at best. Networks shrank as insurers fled unprofitable markets; the promise of keeping your doctor morphed into keeping whichever overworked stranger is on call at the in-network clinic—if you can get an appointment before next year.Contrast this with the pre-Obamacare world, when nonprofit organizations like Blue Cross and Blue Shield plans dominated. These mutual organizations sold straightforward hospitalization insurance: you paid a modest premium, and if lightning struck, the hospital bill was covered. No $500 “free” colonoscopies, no 400-page explanation-of-benefits riddles, no surprise $3,000 facility fee for an MRI, no $30 aspirin. Premiums were a third of today’s costs, and the plans were actuarially sound because they weren’t forced to subsidize hypochondria and wellness spa days. The Marxist-Progressives demonized this system as “junk insurance,” but it was honest: it protected against catastrophe, not against the inconvenience of a $90 copay.Obamacare is not merely inefficient; it is a net destroyer of human life. A 2022 National Bureau of Economic Research paper found that states with the deepest ACA exchange penetration saw all-cause mortality rise relative to non-expansion states, as delayed care and financial stress outweighed any marginal gain in preventive screenings. People skip insulin, postpone cancer scans, and ration blood-pressure pills because the deductible is tantamount to a second mortgage. The program has hurt more Americans than it has helped—full stop—and must be rescinded root and branch.Rescission, however, is only half the cure. The federal government must then eviscerate the Deep State-enabled Big Pharma/Health Insurance Industrial Complex that Obamacare supercharged. Break the patent-evergreening rackets that keep Humira prices at $7,000 a month while the same molecule costs $600 in Europe. Repeal the insurance cartel exemptions under McCarran-Ferguson that let them collude on prices the way OPEC colludes on oil. Allow portability across state lines and genuine catastrophic plans to compete nationwide, free from wellness-visit mandates and maternity coverage requirements for 70-year-old men. Let doctors sell cash-based primary care without the 35 percent overhead of billing a labyrinthine ACA plan. Fracture the monopolies, and watch prices plummet the way LASIK and cosmetic surgery prices have—because those markets were never hijacked by this collusion.Health insurance is no longer a business; it is a government-sanctioned scam. The actuarial tables are cooked, the risk pools are warped, and the middlemen skim 20 cents of every dollar before a single bandage is applied. People are dying—quietly, bankrupt, and alone—because the Marxist-Progressive fantasy of “universal coverage” ignored the immutable law that you cannot subsidize everything for everyone without bankrupting someone. That someone is now every working family staring at a 30 percent rate hike notice in January.Obamacare was sold as compassion. It delivered corporate socialism for the connected and austerity for the rest of us. Tear it down, scatter its architects, and let a thousand competitive experiments bloom. Only then will America’s healthcare sector serve patients instead of parasites.When we come back, our segment on America’s Third Watch, broadcast nationally from our flagship station WGUL, AM860 and FM93.7 in Tampa, Florida.In Closing…Obamacare’s collapse is here—premiums exploding 20-40 percent next year, while insurance giants and BigPharma count billions. Twenty million “covered,” yet waiting rooms overflow with wellness tourists and illegal immigrants, doctors vanish, and families skip meds to afford $8,000 deductibles. The Marxist-Progressive lies—“lower costs,” “keep your doctor”—delivered the opposite.Nonprofits once sold honest catastrophic plans; now we fund a scam that kills quietly through bankruptcy and delay. Rescind it all. Shatter the BigPharma-Health Insurance cartel, free the market, and let competition save lives.America deserves healthcare that heals, not one that bleeds us dry and into the coffin.Until next time… Get full access to Underground USA at www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe

In a moment that crystallized the far-Left’s toxic embrace of brutality disguised as “passion,” Texas Democrat State Representative Jolanda Jones appeared on CNN’s OutFront with Erin Burnett on October 22, 2025. While railing against Republicans, Jones rejected Michelle Obama’s disingenuous yet iconic “When they go low, we go high” mantra, opting instead for a visceral display of savagery.“If they punch me in the face, I’m going across your neck,” Jones declared, slicing her hand dramatically across her throat in an unmistakable slashing gesture. She didn’t stop there, vowing that Democrats must “fight ugly” and “wipe out” every Republican in the upcoming midterms. This wasn’t hyperbole from a fringe activist; it was a sitting legislator, broadcast live on a major network, normalizing throat-slitting imagery against political opponents.Fact-checkers scrambled to spin it as a mere “metaphor,” but let’s call it what it is: bloodthirsty incitement from a Marxist-progressive who views conservatism as a mortal enemy worthy of decapitation. In an era where assassins target judges and politicians, Jones’s performance wasn’t comedy—it was a dog whistle to the deranged.This grotesque theater didn’t emerge in a vacuum. It’s the rotten fruit of decades-long cultivation by the Democrat elite, who have peddled violent rhetoric under the guise of “resistance.”Look no further than Barack Obama, the serpent-tongued architect of modern progressivism. During his 2008 campaign, Obama didn’t whisper sweet nothings about unity; he growled, “If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun.” Spoken at a Philadelphia fundraiser amid whispers of political dirty tricks, this wasn’t tough-guy bravado—it was a blueprint for escalation, framing electoral battles as armed standoffs.Obama’s words echoed the revolutionary zeal of his Chicago organizing days, where Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals preached power through intimidation. Fast-forward to 2025, and Obama himself warns of “political violence” in speeches mourning figures like Charlie Kirk, yet he never reckons with how his own escalatory language fertilized the ground for today’s assassins. Hypocrisy? No, it’s the hallmark of a movement that deploys violence as verb, then feigns shock when the knives come out.The rot spreads wider. California Governor Gavin Newsom, that Botoxed beacon of coastal elitism, has mastered the art of demonizing Republicans as existential threats, fueling a rhetoric that borders on calls for upheaval. In June 2025, as protests roiled Los Angeles, Newsom accused Donald Trump of “militarizing cities” and “inciting chaos,” painting conservatives as authoritarian overlords deserving of mass resistance. His blistering addresses frame GOP policies as “assaults on democracy,” urging followers to “fight back” without qualifiers—language that, in the hands of Antifa street warriors, translates to Molotov cocktails and brick-throwing.Newsom’s defenders claim it’s all “hyperbole,” but when ICE agents face a 1,000% spike in assaults amid his sanctuary-state posturing, the blood on the streets isn’t metaphorical. This is the governor who signed laws shielding violent criminals while decrying “gun violence” as if the weapons pull their own triggers—classic Marxist sleight-of-hand, blaming systems for the savagery of individuals.Enter Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the Instagram socialist whose performative outrage often veers into provocation. AOC’s 2019 screed labeling GOP criticisms as “incitement of violence against women of color” was less a defense than a preemptive strike, equating dissent with assault. By 2023, she was accusing Trump rallies of priming followers for fascism through “inciting violence and hatred against Latinos and Black Americans,” rhetoric that absolves Left-wing agitators while priming her base for retaliation. AOC’s floor speeches, like her 2020 takedown of Rep. Ted Yoho, decry a “culture of accepting violence and violent language,” yet she amplifies it by doxxing critics and cheering “direct action” protests that devolve into riots. Her Squad comrades nod along, turning Congress into a coliseum where words are gladiatorial weapons, and losing means metaphorical (or literal) death.Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer embodies this institutional thuggery. In March 2020, outside the Supreme Court, he thundered at Justices Gorsuch and Kavanaugh: “You have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price. You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions.” Chief Justice Roberts rightly rebuked it as a threat, but Schumer’s half-apology only emboldened the mob—protesters soon swarmed justices’ homes, harbingers of the 2022 Dobbs assassination attempts. Even in 2025, Schumer’s shutdown brinkmanship and jabs at Republicans as “bastards“ keep the pressure cooker boiling. This is leadership? No, it’s gangsterism, where legislative leverage meets street-level menace.But here’s the uncomfortable truth the progressive censors dread: this glorification of violence as conflict resolution isn’t confined to ivory-tower ideologues—it’s deeply rooted in the urban Black communities that Democrats claim to champion, a cultural inheritance twisted by decades of failed welfare-state experiments and identity-politics grift.FBI Uniform Crime Reports paint a stark picture. In 2019 (the last year with comprehensive race data before the National Incident-Based Reporting System transitions), Black Americans, 13% of the population, accounted for 27% of arrests for violent crimes nationwide, rising to over 50% in major urban centers like Chicago and Detroit. Preliminary 2023 data from the Crime Data Explorer shows similar disparities: in cities, Black offenders comprised 51% of homicide arrests, despite comprising 24% of urban populations.These aren’t anomalies; they’re the harvest of a subculture where “snitching” is betrayal, gangs are family, and Marxist agitators like Jones—herself a Black Marxist-progressive—romanticize “resistance” that starts with threats and ends in body bags. The far-Left imports this ethos into politics, rebranding urban despair as revolutionary fervor, while ignoring how it devours its own.America stands at the threshold of the abyss, where throat-slashing gestures graduate to acts with real blades at the hands of thugs like Antifa and BLM. We must confront this violence—not as confrontation against “free speech” or “passion,” but as the murderous poison it is.Democrats! You must reclaim your party from the radical Marxist-progressive Left: expunge the far-Left radicals who equate opposition with violence and extermination. Until reasonable voices purge this cancer, the spiral into the acceptance of violence as conflict resolution and assassination culture—both societal and political—and far-Left-perpetrated political terror will accelerate, turning ballots into battlegrounds and the Great American Experiment into a graveyard.The choice is clear—evolve or perish in the firestorm you’ve unleashed.When we come back, our segment on America’s Third Watch, broadcast nationally from our flagship station WGUL, AM860 and FM93.7 in Tampa, Florida.In Closing…As we wrap up, remember: the Marxist-progressive far-Left’s throat-slashing rhetoric—from Jolanda Jones’s savage gestures to Obama’s knife-to-gun taunts, Newsom’s demonization, AOC’s violence-inciting words, and Schumer’s judicial threats—it isn’t passion; it’s poison.Rooted in urban violence stats that scream for accountability, not excuses, this Marxist-progressive march glorifies brutality over ballots. Democrats, it’s time: purge the radicals from your ranks or watch your party spiral into assassination’s shadow. Listeners, reject this venom—demand civility, or our Constitutional Republic dies in the murderous whirlwind.Until next time… Get full access to Underground USA at www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe

In the annals of American history, few inventions have proven as insidious and tyrannical as the federal income tax. Ratified in 1913 via the 16th Amendment, this beast was sold as a modest levy on the ultra-wealthy, a way to fund the bare bones of government without burdening the masses. Fast-forward over a century, and what do we have? A sprawling, 7,000-page monstrosity of a tax code that devours time, treasure, and trust from every working stiff in the nation. The income tax is a predatory racket, enforced by the IRS—a government Gestapo that audits grandmas for pennies while billionaires loophole their way to nauseating excess. The income tax isn’t just broken; it’s irredeemably corrupted, a Frankenstein’s monster stitched together with politically motivated carve-outs that reward cronies and punish the productive. Special interests lobby for exemptions on everything from green energy boondoggles to Hollywood subsidies, turning the code into a partisan playground where the highest bidder writes the rules.Enough! It’s time to abolish the IRS in its current form and pivot to a consumption tax—a fair, simple system that taxes what we spend, not what we earn. This transformation wouldn’t just streamline revenue; it would liberate every American taxpayer from the chains of fiscal oppression.Let’s start with the rot at the heart of the income tax: its irredeemable corruption. The code is a labyrinth of loopholes, deductions, and credits doled out like candy to favored constituencies. Remember the carried interest loophole that lets hedge fund managers pay lower rates than their secretaries? Or the mortgage interest deduction that balloons housing bubbles in Blue states while screwing renters? These aren’t oversights; they’re deliberate distortions, engineered by tax-and-spend politicians to buy votes and fund pet projects.The result? A system where compliance costs Americans $400 billion annually in preparation fees alone—more than the IRS collects in audits. It’s legalized extortion, where the powerful game the system and the rest of us foot the bill. A consumption tax flips this script. Instead of policing paychecks, it hits spending at the point of sale, like a national sales tax or value-added tax (VAT), but with legislated guardrails. No more favors for donors; just a flat rate on transactions. Pure, unadulterated fairness.And fairness extends beyond borders, which brings us to America’s true identity: we’re a consumer nation, not a producer’s paradise. The US boasts the world’s largest consumer market, with household spending driving 70% of GDP. We buy gadgets, groceries, and gas at a clip that dwarfs manufacturing or exports. Why punish savings and investment with income taxes that discourage work and risk-taking?A consumption tax aligns perfectly with this reality, taxing the fruits of our economy—our insatiable appetite for stuff—rather than the seeds of growth. It rewards thrift and innovation: save your earnings, invest in stocks or startups, and watch them compound tax-free until you spend. No more IRS busybodies rifling through your 401(k) or W-2s. This shift would supercharge economic dynamism, as Americans keep more of their labor’s reward upfront, fueling the entrepreneurial fire that built this country.To ensure this boon reaches the working class without the income tax’s phony “progressivity” that mostly subsidizes bureaucracy, we can exempt or tax at lower rates certain essentials like medicines and essential healthcare, basic foods, and even education spending—think school supplies or tuition for trade programs. This built-in relief benefits everyone but targets lower-income households, where necessities eat up the biggest chunk of budgets, shielding them from regressive hits while keeping the system simple. No sprawling Earned Income Tax Credit mazes or refund delays; just automatic compassion at the register, proving consumption taxes can be humane without the income tax’s hypocritical complexity.Here’s the genius kicker: even those who aren’t citizens but tread American soil—legal immigrants, tourists, and yes, those who exist unlawfully on American soil—would chip in by virtue of their purchases. Under an income tax regime, non-citizens often fly under the radar, working off-books or remitting earnings abroad without a dime to Uncle Sam. But buy a burger at McDonald’s or fill up at Exxon? Boom—tax remitted instantly.This isn’t about xenophobia; it’s pragmatic equity. Everyone enjoying the blessings of American infrastructure, security, and opportunity—from the Grand Canyon visitor to the border-crossing laborer—pays their share when they partake in our consumer bounty. No more freeloader debates; the system self-enforces through everyday commerce. It’s a revenue net that catches all fish, big and small.Collecting these taxes? A breeze compared to the IRS’s blood sport. Imagine: no more April 15th dread, no stacks of forms, no audits that feel like a cavity search. With a consumption tax, revenue flows seamlessly at checkout, remitted by retailers via existing sales systems. The government waves goodbye to its predatory pursuits—those SWAT-style raids on small businesses for alleged underreporting or the algorithmic witch hunts that flag middle-class families for “discrepancies.” The IRS, bloated with 80,000 agents and a $14 billion budget, could shrink to a skeleton crew overseeing point-of-sale compliance. Simpler, cheaper, and infinitely less invasive. Americans reclaim thousands of hours wasted on tax preparation drudgery, redirecting that energy to family, innovation, or—gasp—actual leisure.Economists, those rare voices of reason in policy wonkery, have hammered home the consensus: a consumption tax delivers more reliable revenue while imposing a fiscal straitjacket on spendthrift DC. Unlike volatile income taxes that crater in recessions (witness the 2008 plunge), consumption taxes chug along steadily, as people still need toilet paper and toothpaste even when jobs vanish. Studies from the Tax Policy Center and Brookings Institution project that a well-designed consumption tax could raise trillions with broader bases and lower rates, stabilizing inflows.Better yet, it sets a natural benchmark for federal spending: revenue tracks consumer health, not congressional whims. No more blank-check entitlements or endless wars funded by deficits. The government is forced to live within its means, curbing the $35 trillion debt bomb that’s one tantrum away from exploding. It’s fiscal discipline baked in, not begged for.Implementing this? Faster than you can say “balanced budget.” Legislation could roll it out in under a year: phase out income taxes while ramping up the consumption levy, using transition rules to avoid shocks. But here’s the handcuffs for future tax-and-spend hacks: embed rate hikes in supermajority requirements—think amending-the-Constitution hard, needing 60 Senate votes or state ratifications. Politicians itching to soak the rich or greenlight boondoggles would face a wall of voter backlash, their greasy paws tied. No more midnight riders tacking on surtaxes; fiscal sanity becomes the default.With the counter-revolution back to Constitutionalism roaring under the Trump administration and the MAGA movement, there’s never been a riper moment to unchain the American people from this oppressive yoke. Trump’s 2025 agenda—slashing regulations, securing borders, reviving manufacturing—cries out for tax reform that turbocharges growth without the income tax’s dead weight.The MAGA faithful—as well as the overwhelming majority of Americans, weary of Deep State depredations—see the IRS as Exhibit A in government overreach. Transforming from an income tax to a consumption tax should be priority one for the next three and a half years: rally Congress, mobilize the base, and etch this reform into law before the swamp creatures regroup.We must all—all of us—barrage our federally elected officials with this information and insist on an abrupt and successful pivot away from the corrupt income tax system to a consumption tax, complete with legislative handcuffs that make it next to impossible to corrupt. Copy and send this text to your federally elected officials and demand action.Let’s abolish the IRS, embrace consumption taxation, and watch America soar—prosperous, unburdened, and truly free. The 16th Amendment’s ghost can haunt someone else’s nightmare.When we come back, our segment on America’s Third Watch, broadcast nationally from our flagship station WGUL, AM860 and FM93.7 in Tampa, Florida.In Closing…Let’s unshackle the American people from the IRS’s tyrannical grip. This bloated beast, riddled with crony carve-outs, devours our earnings while billionaires laugh through loopholes.But imagine: a consumption tax that hits spending, not sweat—fair, simple, and enabling growth in our consumer powerhouse economy. Essentials like meds and basics get breaks for the working class; even non-citizens pay via purchases. Revenue steadies, government spending gets chained, and implementation? Lightning-fast, with ironclad locks against tax hikes.Folks, with Trump’s Constitutional firestorm raging, now is the hour. Flood your Senators and Representatives with emails, calls, and at town halls. Barrage them relentlessly until they capitulate and kill the income tax for good. Freedom demands it.

For the love of God, can someone in the Republican Party grow a set of balls? It’s October, Trump 2.0 is in the White House fighting tooth and nail to secure our borders, slash the bloated federal bureaucracy, and rein in the runaway spending that’s bankrupting our grandkids—and what do we get from Republicans on Capitol Hill? Recess and congratulatory backslapping over the passage of one meaningful bill. A collective shrug from the so-called conservative majority that’s supposed to have our backs.Instead of reining in the rogue federal judiciary that’s turned into a one-way ratchet for Leftist obstructionism, these GOP enablers sit on their hands, pretending judicial reform—which is absolutely in their purview—is some forbidden fruit. The federal judiciary is out of control, and Republicans are complicit in the chaos by their inaction—while Democrats obstruct every step of the way, from shutdown standoffs to sanctuary strongholds.Let’s start with immigration, because nothing screams “America First” like sealing the border against the invasion that’s overwhelmed our cities.Trump hits the ground running in January, vowing mass deportations to restore order. By August, he’s rolling out a fast-track deportation policy to expedite removals of criminal illegal aliens without the endless due-process charade the Left has constructed that lets them game the system.Boom—federal court says no. A judge slaps down the entire effort as “extremist and unjust,” tying the administration’s hands just as ICE gears up for sweeps in sanctuary strongholds like Los Angeles, Portland, and Chicago. The ACLU crows about rejecting the “unjust policy of fast-tracking mass deportations without due process,” but this isn’t justice under the law —it’s lawfare sabotage. And it gets worse on the local front, where Democrat city and state leaders have ordered cops to stand down, refusing to help ICE apprehend illegal immigrants flooding their streets.In Chicago, for instance, under explicit directives from Blue-state bosses (hello JB Pritzker and Brandon Johnson), local law enforcement is forced to sit idle, watching criminals roam free while federal agents twist in the wind. Now, the federal bench is piling on, with the Seventh Circuit upholding a halt on Trump’s National Guard deployment to the Windy City, blocking troops from aiding in roundups amid the migrant mayhem, even as federal law enforcement agents are under assault and calling for back-up.These aren’t close calls; they’re blatant power grabs by judges who’ve forgotten Article III doesn’t make them kings.Emboldened by this federal bench cover fire, a Cook County judge—nowhere near his judicial purview—just issued an order barring ICE agents from making arrests on county court property—including parking lots—turning courthouses into safe havens for illegals and no-go zones for federal law enforcement.Chief Judge Timothy Evans’s decree explicitly prohibits civil arrests, as if immigration enforcement is a suggestion in sanctuary swamps like Chicago. Meanwhile, anti-ICE actions are rampant: from local ordinances shielding deportable thugs to judicial edicts that handcuff federal operations, all while Democrat overlords pat their minions on the back for their unconstitutional sanctuary policies.Where are the Republicans in Congress? Yawning over their morning coffee while the streets are awash in blood. They’ve got the votes—House, Senate, the works—to launch impeachment proceedings against these judicial tyrants, or at least pass legislation redefining the purview of federal courts to curb their overreach on nationwide injunctions, which they issue like candy on Halloween.Remember the Supreme Court’s June warning about “universal injunctions” improperly meddling in Executive Branch turf? That was a golden opportunity to codify limits on these abuses by narrowing judicial scope to its proper lanes. Instead? Nothing. Today’s GOP leaders stare into the cameras when asked about this like retarded deer in oncoming headlights. They’re too busy fundraising off “drain the swamp” bumper stickers to actually touch the faucet, even as Democrats filibuster every reform attempt.Fed up? You should be. Every blocked deportation means more fentanyl in our streets, more strain on schools and hospitals—on taxpayers, all because congressional cowards won’t fight the bench, letting anti-ICE zealots from city halls to courtrooms run roughshod over the law, with Democrats cheering from the sidelines.But hey, maybe they’re saving their energy for downsizing the government, right? Wrong.Trump’s team announces plans to cull the federal herd—layoffs targeting redundant and wholly unnecessarily employed bureaucrats who’ve turned DC into a jobs program for Ivy League paper-pushers. Enter the shutdown drama: with Congress deadlocked on funding as Democrats dig in their heels, the administration seizes the moment to issue reduction-in-force notices to over 4,100 workers across agencies, a brilliant move to finally trim the fat that’s swollen the workforce to Soviet-era levels.Cue the robes: US District Judge Susan Illston in San Francisco—shocker, a blue-state bench Clinton appointee—slams the brakes with a temporary injunction, declaring the firings “likely illegal” and whining about the “human cost.” Human cost? Try the human cost of a $35 trillion debt crushing taxpayers! This isn’t some rogue operation; it’s straight out of the playbook Trump promised, yet the judge seeks to halt it cold, blocking new and existing layoffs at more than 30 agencies during the shutdown.Let’s call it what it is: sabotage of the people’s mandate, enabled by Democrat stonewalling in the Senate.And the Republicans? Democrats are the ones refusing to pass a clean bill, dragging us into this shutdown mess over healthcare funding for illegal immigrants and a restoration of funding for ridiculous DEI foreign programs. Yet, the GOP appears shocked when judges exploit the vacuum. Speaker Johnson could ram through a simple resolution affirming the president’s authority to restructure during fiscal crises—hell, he could even cite the 1974 Impoundment Control Act reforms that give executives substantial leeway.But no. They’re too busy stampeding to cameras and microphones; too busy tweeting platitudes about “fiscal responsibility” while judges like Illston play HR director for the Deep State—and oh, look, there they go again, back-slapping each other over the passage of that “big beautiful bill,” Trump’s shiny new spending package loaded with border wall funds and tax cuts, as if one win excuses a summer of inaction amid Democrat obstruction. It’s infuriating.These black-robed tyrants aren’t impartial arbiters; they’re obstacles to efficiency, and Congress has the constitutional hammer to smash them, but treats it like an impotent feather, with Republicans too timid to act while Democrats load the judges’ chambers with activist ammo. Where’s the cost-benefit analysis for the American taxpayer footing endless bureaucracy bills?If that’s not enough to make your blood boil, consider the spending cuts—or lack thereof. Trump’s budget blueprint slashes discretionary outlays by tens if not hundreds of billions, targeting pork like endless and frivolous foreign aid and green boondoggles. But the courts? They’re the ultimate veto pen.That same shutdown layoff block isn’t just about jobs; it’s a direct assault on spending restraint, preserving payrolls that balloon the deficit. Judges are freezing funds at FY 2025 levels—$8.6 billion for the judiciary alone—while decrying any trims as “crises.”And in today’s fresh outrage, Illston’s order halts mass firings aimed at cutting costs during the impasse, effectively forcing taxpayers to foot the bill for idled agencies. Two unions are cheering the “victory” over what they call illegal actions. Victory for whom? Not for the strapped families watching their paychecks vanish into the federal swamp, especially with Democrats blocking every GOP bid to override these judicial roadblocks.Republicans, this is on you. You’ve controlled the levers of power since January 2025, yet you’ve done squat to curb the judicial overreach; the blatant judicial activism that’s neutered two branches of government—all while Democrats obstruct reforms at every turn. This is what you get for going along to get along while Clinton, Obama, and Biden packed the federal bench with activists and operatives. That shame is on you for being collectively too stupid to understand the consequences.Impeach the worst offenders—start with those issuing blanket injunctions. Pass the REINS Act on steroids to claw back regulatory power. Or, heaven forbid, invoke Article III, Section 2 to strip jurisdiction from activist circuits and redefine the purview of federal courts once and for all.But no, you’re too scared of upending “precedent” or rejecting the Democrats’ fake “bipartisanship” to act. Trump and his team are out there taking the heat, defying court orders on everything from refugee bans to grant funding, while you hide behind “process”—the same process Democrats manipulate to their advantage at every turn.The real illegality, the real crime against the American people, is Congress abdicating its duty to protect the American people from the tyranny of the judiciary and the criminals for whom they advocate, with Republicans fiddling as Democrats fan the flames.Enough. Your base is sufficiently pissed-off at your inaction and cowardice, donors are eyeing the primaries, and history will remember you not as reformers who marched in a counter-revolution to far-Left socialism, but as the do-nothings who let judicial tyrants run the country.Listen up, Republicans in the House and the Senate: Step up, or step aside. America can’t wait for you to find your balls—because the bench sure as hell isn’t waiting to grab more power.When we come back, our segment on America’s Third Watch, broadcast nationally from our flagship station WGUL, AM860 and FM93.7
