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

In the chaotic hangover from Joe Biden’s treasonous term, the Democrat Party has morphed into a massive, self-serving bureaucratic monster, barreling headfirst toward what appears to be a bid for Civil War 2.0. In a recent article in his substack, Clusterfuck Nation, James Howard Kunstler rips the Left’s scam to pieces: Democrats have built a huge racket, a tangled web of cash schemes propping up their whole operation—from fake-woke charities to attack-dog lawyers. They’ve ditched any real policies or values, surviving on stolen taxpayer cash, shady donor slush funds, and protesters paid to gum up ICE operations.With Donald Trump in the White House, this Democrat machine has gone completely off the rails, purposely whipping up mayhem to trick the Right into an over-the-top tough response they can slap the “fascist” and “totalitarian” labels on. It’s beyond embarrassing for them, really; it’s outright seditious, all schemed-up by the radical Left and enabled by spineless Democrats who’d sell out their own mothers for a donation bump.At the epicenter of this provocation is the Marxist wing of the American Left, that slimy outfit slinking through universities, pseudo-do-gooder groups, and compensated protest flash mobs. They’re done with just talk—they’re flat-out trying to goad the Trump administration and everyday conservatives into violent street brawls.Picture it: herds of face-pierced activists, herded like low-rent doomsday cultists, throwing down with federal agents at immigration sites, plastering the whole thing on social media to crank up the hate. What’s their endgame? Snap photos of Trump looking like a power-mad bully itching for war, while they shove their own bully-boy—or bully girl, or bully whatever-it’s-supposed-to-be—moves onto him and his supporters. It’s the classic Leftist flip: rile up a fight, then play the wounded party, directing their blind followers to “protect democracy” from the one guy actually following the rules.Look at Illinois’ buffoonish governor, JB Pritzker, that oversized, elitist fraud of a Democrat blowhard channeling some second-rate wannabe Civil War general, ranting on about galloping into federal troops on a lathered-up horse in Chicago’s Millennium Park. What a pathetic excuse for a governor, let alone a politician. His so-called sanctuary policies? Forget the compassionate spin—they’re a blatant middle finger to America’s borders, greenlighting the violent chaos that jammed illegal voters onto rolls during Biden’s open-door fiasco.None of this came about suddenly; Democrats and the radical, neo-Marxist Left have been grinding toward this showdown for decades, step by devious step, like turning up the heat on the proverbial clueless frog.It all started in the ‘60s, when campus schemers and hotheads—pseudo-revolutionaries, one and all; the kind who glorify the genocidal maniac Ché Guevara—these “activists” grew up to be professors who shoved divisive identity games down everyone’s throat as the cool-kid gospel. Come the ‘80s, they wormed into unions and local governments, flipping public service into a progressive Democrat insider club. Barack Obama’s 2008 grab-bag victory dragged back the rotten old patronage game on overdrive, cramming the feds full of bitter Marxists who see the Constitution as optional reading. Biden’s crew turned it into a straight-up crime syndicate, siphoning billions to bloated teachers’ unions, echo-chamber think tanks, and AOC’s pie-in-the-sky Green New Deal schemes.Every Democrat-backed move—from silencing dissent on college campuses to waving off BLM riots as “mostly peaceful”—has gnawed away at our constitutional Republic, repackaging thuggery as noble “uprising.” The 2020 election mess poured gas on it, with big-city Democrat bosses like Chicago’s “Embarrassmet No. 1,” Lori Lightfoot, ordering cops to twiddle thumbs while Antifa lit up neighborhoods, even as Comrade Pelosi and her insider-trading buddies feigned horror from their DC perches. It’s the Democrats’ lifelong hustle: “forward” really means goading us into grudge-fueled tribes, and their “equity” push is just code for punishing anyone who disagrees with them.To nail down what’s rotting the core, the toxic-Left—Democrats’ radical underbelly—boils down to anarchists fused with democratic socialists, two flavors of the same poisonous brew.Anarchists are the masked street warriors the Left loves to glorify in their bi-coastal magazines and forum rants—they despise any whiff of order, from cops to private property, branding it all as soul-crushing slave chains. Pulling from dusty icons like Alinsky and Gramsci, but mangled through today’s fringe outfits like Crowds on Demand and Antifa, they chase a no-government fantasy by smashing first: storefronts, personal info, whatever, all hyped as sweet freedom. It’s not a smart strategy; it’s the Left’s eternal teen angst on steroids, twisting “no rulers” into “no rules.”Over on the smoother side, democratic socialists are the quasi-buttoned-up agitators like Bernie’s die-hards and the Squad—Omar, Tlaib, that crew of nonstop complainers. They promise socialism through the voting booth, not guns: free everything, forced wealth-sharing, and purging “oppressive” history from books and badges.Dig deeper, though, and it’s pure Left control thirst—government takeover wrapped in feel-good bows, where “democratic” just means their clique overrides the working stiffs they claim to champion. AOC’s viral meltdowns aren’t quirky; they’re Democrat roadmaps to seize businesses for “eco-justice,” funneling your tax dollars to their pet causes while deep-pocket Leftist funders like Soros foot the real bills.Mash ‘em together, and you’ve got the toxic-Left Democrats coddle: one lot torches the place, the other slaps on their utopia sticker, all bankrolled by the party’s dirty-money pipeline that places and lights the fuse every time.Propping up this Leftist-Democrat cabal are their own elected hacks, those greasy opportunists muttering “institutional bias” while stuffing their pockets from the riot-starters that have unleashed chaos in our streets.Take Sheldon Whitehouse and Adam Schiff, Democrat senators with their sketchy and disingenuous media plays, manufacturing outrage over Trump’s “democracy doom” while yanking legal levers through stooges like Norm Eisen and Marc Elias, whose boutique lawfare shops vacuum up millions to bully truth into silence. These aren’t statesmen; they’re Democrat fixers, pimping the party pipeline to the fattest wallets—pharma giants for forced jabs, Silicon Valley for voice-throttling.Cable screamers like MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace and the New York Times’ Michael Schmidt fan the Democrat-minion flames, churning news into a fear factory that juices their endless fundraising hauls. It’s a Democrat empire of grift, sucking in millions—from do-nothing desk-jockeys to smug late-night Left cheerleaders like the imbecilic Jimmy Kimmel—all gunning for revolt because their con game is exposed without Trump as the villain.Still, when Democrats and the Left try to bait an over-the-top clampdown, we’ve got to lock in on the Constitution’s straight lines. Trump, ever the scrapper, doesn’t appear to be flinching—booting out the border crashers, slashing the entrenched Left bureaucracy, fixing the Gaza snarl with the guts and brains Biden never had. Forget any wild power-grab talk; the Right’s edge is playing by the Founders’ playbook, not stooping to the Left’s rule-breaking circus. Those Left-leaning activist judges, doling out roadblocks like party favors, can’t derail the drive for safety and sense. The 1883 Pendleton Act crushed the first wave of spoils after Civil War 1.0; Trump can gut this Democrat reboot the same way, roadblocks be damned.Bottom line is this: Democrats and the Left fueling this anarchy, rebellion, and all-out defiance have to answer for it—from the bottle-hurlers rampaging in Portland to outfits like Antifa hauling them there, from blowhard pols like the clownish Pritzker thumbing noses at federal law to the hidden money men like Soros and Steyer pulling Leftist strings. Time’s up on letting Democrats skate for wrecking the nation over their greedy games. Their flimsy Leftist empire is collapsing; and we must confront them with straight justice, not grudges.America doesn’t survive their wrecking ball— it thrives pushing back against it. And under Trump’s firm adherence to the US Constitution and Bill of Rights, we’ll stack it higher and tougher.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…Democrats and their toxic-Left enablers have spent decades building a grift empire of chaos, from street riots to sanctuary sabotage, all to bait Trump into their trap. That’s the ugly truth. But with Trump clear-eyed in the White House, the Left’s scheme is crumbling.We’ve got to hold them accountable—from Pritzker’s bluster to Soros’s shadowy sedition—sticking to the Constitution, not their lawless playbook.Justice isn’t revenge; it’s restoring order.

As a preface to this monologue, I want to address the recent ruling by a judge—a Biden-appointed District Judge, April Perry—that places a temporary hold on the President’s deployment of National Guard troops in Chicago. In her ruling, which will not hold up on appeal, she said she has seen “no credible evidence that there is danger of rebellion in the state of Illinois.” Her ruling is a willful suspension of reality, as evidenced by the videos coming out of Chicago showing mobs attacking law enforcement in their discharge of codified immigration law. Perry is an embarrassment to the judiciary and should be removed by Congress.That said, Congressional Republicans are grossly negligent in reigning in; in narrowing the scope of purview—as is their authority under the US Constitution—of activist judges whose rulings have resulted in facilitating insurrection and death in our city streets. God knows what the hell they are waiting for.In the grand architecture of the US Constitution, the Supremacy Clause stands as an unyielding pillar, declaring in Article VI that the Constitution, federal laws, and treaties “shall be the supreme Law of the Land.” This isn’t hyperbole; it’s the law. When state and local wanna-be potentates prioritize ideological posturing over public safety, the federal government holds the high ground to intervene. Paired with the Insurrection Act of 1807, which empowers the President to deploy federal forces to suppress domestic violence or rebellion when states abdicate their duties, it paints a clear picture: Washington doesn’t just oversee the nation—it owns the authority to restore order when governors and mayors play footsie with anarchy for votes and virtue signals.Consider the festering sores in Chicago, Los Angeles, and Portland, where self-righteous buffoonish officials like Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson; opportunistic charlatans like California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass; and intellectually stunted virtue-signalers like Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek, and Portland Mayor Keith Wilson have turned urban cores into ideological playgrounds. Their grandstanding—sanctuary edicts, police defunding echoes, and open defiance of federal immigration enforcement—hasn’t quelled uprisings; it’s enabled them. From anti-ICE riots to gang-fueled terror, these leaders’ failures scream for federal override. The Supremacy Clause doesn’t tolerate such ideological sabotage; it demands restoration of order, lest the Republic fracture into fiefdoms ruled by performative artist progressive politicians and activists.Take Chicago, where Pritzker and Johnson embody the nadir of elected irresponsibility. Johnson’s fresh executive order, inked just days ago, brazenly carves out “ICE-free zones” across city properties like schools and parks, barring federal agents from civil immigration enforcement without warrants. It’s a red-carpet invitation for chaos, shielding undocumented felons while law-abiding citizens dodge bullets and used needles. Pritzker, ever the enabler, has thumbed his nose at President Trump’s National Guard deployments, vowing “resistance” that borders on sedition. Their defiant idiocy peaked amid reports of Latin Kings gang members slapping a $10,000 bounty on US Border Patrol Chief Gregory Bovino, part of a 1,000% surge in assaults on ICE officers. To that end, federal prosecutors nabbed alleged Latin Kings kingpin Juan Espinoza Martinez for the murder-for-hire plot, a direct fallout from sanctuary coddling that lets gangs operate with impunity.And the “rampant crime” they downplay? It’s a slaughterhouse reality that no spin can mask. With 356 innocents gunned down year-to-date as of October 6, Chicago’s streets pulse with the blood of the forsaken—the US murder capital for the 13th straight year, a toll that shames any notion of a civilized city. Shootings? A relentless barrage claiming 1,589 victims through the same date, turning playgrounds into kill zones and ambulances into grim shuttles for the maimed— an epidemic of lead that demands reckoning. Fueling this nightmare? An estimated 150,000 gang members—more than in any other American city—locked in perpetual vendettas, their arsenals unchecked by Johnson’s pathetic virtue-signaling zones and Pritzker’s limp-wristed oversight. Summer murders tallied 123 in June through August, a quarterly body count that would make any drug cartel take notice. These ideologues grandstand for applause from open-borders crowds, safe in their northshore gated communities, but their policies scream neglect—prioritizing migrant optics over Midwestern lives, while 150,000 gangbangers carve up the city like a birthday cake.Shift west to California, where Newsom and Bass helm a state of shattered illusions. Newsom’s sanctuary empire, cemented since 2017, has ballooned fentanyl deaths from 200 annually to thousands, as border chaos spills into L.A.’s veins. His recent signing of laws shielding immigrants from “Trump’s secret police” ignores a 1,000% spike in ICE attacks, framing federal crackdowns as “fear tactics” while the city reels from 160 homicides year-to-date through early October, alongside hundreds of shooting victims that leave neighborhoods devastated.Bass, once a defund-the-police cheerleader, now funnels $1.89 billion to LAPD amid hiring woes, but her executive directives that attempt to accelerate recruitment ring hollow against a city still plagued by smash-and-grabs and homeless encampments that devour sidewalks. Their joint rhetoric, touting CHP “crime suppression teams” as sufficient, wilts under scrutiny: Newsom’s policies hobble federal partners, letting violent illegals slip through while he spars with Red-state rivals over murder rates.It’s theater—Bass shielding LAPD budgets from layoffs while Newsom deploys over-taxed state troopers in a futile shadow pseudo-might. Their ideological fealty to sanctuary sanctimony invites the very uprisings they decry, from ICE facility clashes to unchecked gang turf wars.Portland’s tableau is perhaps the most grotesque, a post-2020 riot scar tissue torn open by Kotek and Wilson. The mayor, a trucking scion turned constitutionally illiterate, political infidel, condemns federal “tactics” as “deeply disturbing” and “unconstitutional,” even as anti-ICE Antifa mobs hurl projectiles at the South Waterfront facility, with hundreds of violence calls since June.Kotek, architect of 2020’s police-reform follies like HB 3164 that hamstrings officers from intervening in riots, now sues to block National Guard arrivals, claiming “facts on the ground” vindicate her laxity. Response times to 911 calls have tripled since 2019, per a Kotek-commissioned report, yet the city grapples with scores of homicides through the first eight months of the year, plus dozens of shooting incidents that terrorize residents.Wilson’s “sanctuary city” affirmation and Kotek’s plywood bans on storefronts—yes, plywood bans to prevent shop owners from protecting their property—prioritize optics over order, fostering the “war-ravaged” hellscape Trump rightly decries.So, the question begs: In a time when blue-city mayors and their governors whine about the lack of funds for their police departments, why would they oppose free manpower from the federal government? The answer is simple and quite clear to those Americans with more than a handful of brain cells.The federal government’s purview? Total and absolute. The Supremacy Clause subsumes Chicago’s Loop, L.A.’s sprawl, and Portland’s bridges under national sovereignty; no city ordinance or gubernatorial fiat can eclipse immigration law or the duty to quell insurrections. These hotspots aren’t sovereign enclaves—they’re American soil, where uprisings against federal agents (riots at ICE outposts, bounties on officers) trigger Insurrection Act invocation. Trump’s threats of jail for Pritzker and deployments to Oregon underscore this.Worse, these officials have teed up their own downfall. By obstructing federal enforcement—Johnson’s zones, Newsom’s shields, Kotek’s suits—they court 18 USC § 372 charges for conspiracy against federal authority, or even insurrection under 18 USC § 2383 for levying war against the US. Impeachment looms for state-level betrayal: Pritzker’s defiance mocks his oath, Bass’s flip-flops erode trust, Wilson’s naivety invites federal overrides. Their grandstanding isn’t leadership; it’s liability, opening floodgates to DOJ probes, arrests, and recalls.The Supremacy Clause isn’t optional—it’s the federal fist ready to smash adolescent, ideologically-based, local delusions. When ideologues like these fail, Washington must intervene, not out of spite, but salvation. Public safety is the first obligation of government, anywhere and everywhere.Restore law, indict the enablers, and remind Blue-city political robber barons: the nation endures because federal authority does. Anything less invites collapse.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 gunfire fade into Chicago’s 1,589-shot hellscape, and in L.A.’s gang-rotten streets and Portland’s riot-scarred neighborhoods, one truth thunders: the Supremacy Clause isn’t a suggestion—it’s the federal sledgehammer smashing idiotic Blue-city progressive delusions.When ideologues like Pritzker, Johnson, Newsom, Bass, Kotek, and Wilson grandstand for open borders, refuse calls for aid from law enforcement under fire, shrug at bounties being placed on ICE agents, and allow 150,000 gangbangers to reign, they’ve begged for intervention.Why spurn free federal muscle while whining for police funds? You know why.Washington must deploy, indict the saboteurs, and reclaim our cities. The nation bends to no fiefdoms—only to law.Until next time… Get full access to Underground USA at www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe

In a dramatic flourish befitting his larger-than-life persona, President Trump unveiled his ambitious 20-point peace plan for the Israeli-Hamas war on October 3rd from the White House Rose Garden. Flanked by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and a cadre of international envoys, Trump declared it a “monumental deal to end the bloodshed once and for all,” outlining an immediate ceasefire, the release of all remaining Israeli hostages (both alive and not), and a pathway to Palestinian self-governance—sans the terror apparatus that has plagued the region for decades.The plan’s highlights include a hostage-prisoner exchange, Hamas’s complete disarmament with amnesty for compliant militants, phased Israeli withdrawals from Gaza, and economic incentives to rebuild the Gaza Strip under international oversight. No Gazan would be forcibly displaced, Trump emphasized, but those yearning for peace could emigrate freely.Hamas, in a calculated display of partial compliance, has agreed to release the hostages (both alive and not) and accept a new governing body in Gaza to oversee reconstruction and daily affairs. Yet, true to form, they’re hedging on the critical disarmament clause, insisting on “phased implementation” and “security guarantees”—classic weasel words that scream delay and deception from these perennial saboteurs of peace.On the surface, it’s a masterstroke: a blueprint for coexistence that sidesteps the failed two-state fantasies of yesteryear. Yet, as history’s grim ledger reminds us, deals with Islamofascist outfits like Hamas, Hezbollah, and their forebears in the PLO—puppeteered by the fanatical Iranian mullahs—have invariably crumbled into dust, replaced by rivers of Jewish blood. These groups, cloaked in the garb of resistance but animated by jihadist venom, have a track record of duplicity so egregious it borders on the pathological.Time and time again, they’ve inked agreements only to shred them at the first whiff of vulnerability, resuming their orgy of rockets, suicide bombings, and tribal savagery. Trump’s plan may gleam with optimism, but without ironclad enforcement—and severe consequences for transgressions, it’s just another invitation for these terror mongers to reload and re-aim—especially when they dangle hostage releases like bait while clutching their weapons like lifelines.Let’s rewind to the PLO’s sordid saga, the original sin of Palestinian “diplomacy.” In 1993, under the Oslo Accords, Yasser Arafat’s Palestine Liberation Organization—then the darling of far-Left Western gullibility—shook hands with Israel in a ceremony on the White House lawn, pledging mutual recognition and an end to violence. Israel ceded land, armed Arafat’s forces, and bent over backward for peace.What did the PLO deliver? A grotesque betrayal: the Second Intifada of 2000, a five-year frenzy of stabbings, shootings, and bus bombings that claimed over 1,000 Israeli lives. Arafat, that Nobel Peace Prize fraud, pocketed concessions while his thugs glorified “martyrs” who targeted Jewish schoolchildren. The accords, hailed as a breakthrough, were nothing but a Trojan horse for escalation, proving the PLO’s word as worthless. Even gestures like prisoner swaps and interim governance bodies—echoing Hamas’s latest nod to a new Gaza authority—served only as smokescreens for the inevitable bloodletting.Enter Hamas, the PLO’s more rabid spawn, a Sunni jihadist hydra sworn to Israel’s annihilation in its genocidal charter. Since wresting Gaza from Arafat’s heirs in 2007, Hamas has orchestrated at least six major ceasefire pacts with Israel—each a cynical interlude for rearming.Take 2008’s Operation Cast Lead truce, brokered by Egypt: Hamas pledged calm in exchange for eased blockades. Within months, they barraged southern Israel with Qassam rockets, provoking the very retaliation they now wail about. Fast-forward to 2012’s Pillar of Defense ceasefire: another Egyptian-mediated lull, shattered by Hamas’s relentless barrages, killing civilians and shattering any illusion of goodwill.The pattern repeated in 2014’s Protective Edge, where Hamas violated every humanitarian pause—firing rockets even during their own-proposed lulls—turning Gaza into a launchpad for terror. By 2019 and 2021, these “hudnas” (temporary truces in Islamist parlance) were mere facades, allowing Hamas to stockpile Iranian Grad missiles while feigning restraint. The October 7, 2023, massacre—1,200 slaughtered, 250 kidnapped, and too many raped to count—was the fruit of that deception, a barbaric eruption that exposed Hamas not as a liberation movement, but as a death cult masquerading as one.Now, with hostages as their human shields and a vague promise of a post-Hamas governing body, they’re playing the same game: concede the symbolic to hoard the substantive, all while dragging feet on disarmament that would neuter their jihadist core.Hezbollah, the Shia counterpart to Hamas’s Sunni fanaticism, offers no redemption arc—only an endless reel of treachery.Born from Iran’s 1982 export of revolution amid Israel’s Lebanon incursion, Hezbollah has been a perpetual thorn, its 2006 war a masterclass in broken understandings. UN Resolution 1701 ended that 34-day bloodbath with a ceasefire mandating Hezbollah’s disarmament north of the Litani River. Did these Iranian-funded fanatics comply? Hardly. They fortified bunkers, amassed 150,000 rockets, and probed Israel’s borders with “resistance” raids, culminating in the 2024 escalations that dragged Lebanon into ruin.By early 2025, Hezbollah’s “defeat” and grudging acceptance of an unfavorable truce only underscored their playbook: fight, feign peace, then fester. From the 1983 Beirut barracks bombing that murdered 241 US Marines to cross-border ambushes, Hezbollah’s honor is as mythical as their “divine victory” propaganda. Their selective agreements—perhaps releasing captives here, nodding to a technocratic council there—mirror Hamas’s current hedging, buying time for the mullahs’ arsenal to replenish.Lurking in the shadows, the Iranian mullahs pull every string, their theocratic empire built on exported jihad.Since the 1990s, Tehran has funneled billions to Hamas and Hezbollah—training fighters, smuggling arms, and greenlighting atrocities—all while feigning diplomatic niceties. Even as the PLO inked Oslo, Iran bankrolled its rejectionist wings, ensuring no deal would be stuck.After the 2015 nuclear accord, the ayatollahs pocketed sanctions relief only to double down on proxy wars, coordinating Hamas’s 2023 rampage with Hezbollah’s salvos. These bloodthirsty clerics, ensconced in their mosques and madrasas, view agreements as infidel tricks, arming a global terror network from Yemen’s Houthis to Gaza’s tunnels. Hamas’s waffling on disarmament? Straight from Tehran’s script: promise governance facades to the world, but keep the guns for the graves.Trump’s 20-point vision—demanding Hamas’s military evisceration and Iranian exile from Gaza—could shatter this never-ending cycle if enforced with the vigor it deserves and if severe consequences are undertaken at any transgression. Global leaders from Pakistan to the EU have hailed it tentatively, sensing a pivot from endless war.Yet, optimism must yield to vigilance. Hamas’s history isn’t happenstance; it’s doctrine. Their leaders, gorged on Iranian petro-dollars, have never honored a pact without a knife behind their back. As Israel pauses its righteous campaign at Trump’s behest—halting Gaza strikes to test the waters—let us remember the graves of Oslo’s innocents, the craters of Cast Lead, the widows and orphans of October 7th.Beware, world: Trust Hamas at your peril. Their “commitment to peace”—releasing hostages and toying with a new governing body while hedging on disarmament—is a siren’s song, luring the naive to slaughter.Only unyielding resolve—border walls, drone surveillance, the complete disarmament of Hamas, and zero tolerance for violations—with severe consequences for any breach—can forge real security. Otherwise, Trump’s bold stroke risks becoming another chapter in the annals of Islamofascist perfidy. Let’s hope this time is different.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…President Trump’s bold 20-point Gaza blueprint: a beacon of hope amid the rubble. With hostages set for release and a fresh governing body on the horizon, this plan could chart a real and true path to rebuild, disarm, and thrive, free from terror’s grip. Trump’s vision, worthy of a Nobel Peace Prize, demands full enforcement, sidelining Iranian puppeteers once and for all, and exacting consequences for transgressions.But let’s be crystal clear: Hamas’s hedging on disarmament reeks of their blood-soaked playbook—Oslo’s ghosts, endless hudnas turned massacres. Trust them? Never. Yet in Trump’s unyielding resolve, I can see dawn breaking. Peace is possible—if we demand it.

In the shadow of America’s crumbling urban cores, where sirens wail like a perpetual dirge and law-abiding citizens huddle behind bolted doors, a simple truth pierces the fog of hysteria: increased federal law enforcement presence in cities like Chicago, Washington, DC, and Portland should terrify no one—except the criminals who thrive in chaos.Yet, here we are, in October 2025, watching a parade of virtue-signaling, elitist politicians and their activist enablers clutching pearls over the sight of federal agents in tactical gear. “How dare the feds step in to restore order!” It’s as if these critics believe safety is a privilege reserved for the elite, while the rest of us must endure the fallout from their failed experiments in “progressive” policing. Spare us the crocodile tears; this isn’t oppression—it’s overdue reinforcement of the law for communities gasping under the weight of unchecked violence.Let’s dismantle the absurd objections with cold facts.Federal law enforcement agencies, from the FBI to the DEA, deliver what strapped local departments can only dream of: surges of extra personnel, cutting-edge investigative tools, and technology that turns guesswork into precision strikes against criminals. Local police in cash-strapped cities often limp along with outdated equipment and bone-tired officers pulling endless overtime. By partnering with federal teams, these cities shift from reactive to proactive—thwarting violent crimes before they erupt, dismantling organized syndicates, and shielding against cyber threats that know no zip code. In Portland, where federal deployments have ramped up amid spiraling unrest, this collaboration shouldn’t be seen as an invasion; it should be understood as a lifeline, allowing overwhelmed locals to focus on neighborhood patrols instead of playing whack-a-mole with transnational gangs.Consider the scale of the enemy: criminal networks peddling drugs, trafficking humans, and orchestrating cyber heists that span cities, states, and oceans. Local cops, handcuffed by jurisdictional red tape and razor-thin budgets, can’t chase a cartel kingpin from Chicago’s South Side to a Juárez safehouse without federal help. Enter the feds, with their authority to coordinate across borders and resources to sustain long-haul ops.In Washington, DC, where opioid floods and fentanyl labs have turned monuments into memorials, this interstate synergy has already nipped multi-state trafficking rings in the bud. Objectors whine about “federal overreach,” but what they really fear is accountability—for letting these predators fester under their watch.And let’s not tiptoe around the elephant in the riot gear: the violent disruptions sown by extremist groups masquerading as social justice warriors. Far-Left outfits like Antifa and Black Lives Matter aren’t spontaneous uprisings; they’re bankrolled, manufactured spectacles of fury, fueled by deep-pocketed progressive donors who treat chaos as a checkbook cause. Reports reveal how foundations tied to figures like George Soros and Neville Roy Singham have funneled over $100 million to organizations linked to these “extremist protests,” enabling sustained campaigns of arson, looting, and ideological intimidation.In Portland’s 2025 flare-ups, federal agents brought specialized intel to monitor these networks, investigating funding trails that locals couldn’t touch without sparking a media meltdown. Neutralizing these threats isn’t about stifling dissent—it’s about protecting the innocent from Molotov cocktails and brick-throwing ideologues who erroneously equate law and order with fascism. If that’s “provocative,” then so is locking your door at night.Compounding this mess are the fiscal black holes sucking these same cities dry. Major cities are drowning in deficits, bloated by politically expedient spending on everything from green initiatives to identity politics pet projects, leaving precious little for actual public safety.Chicago faces a nearly $1 billion budget gap, much of which stems from underfunded pensions and never-ending emergency responses. Los Angeles limps on with a $1.5 billion shortfall, while Portland and other Blue cities rank among the worst-off in fiscal health—54 of the 75 largest US cities couldn’t cover their bills as of early 2025. Overtime for riot control, drawn-out investigations, ideologically-charged courtroom marathons, and victimhood support services devour municipal coffers like a bonfire. Federal involvement offloads this burden, freeing up local dollars for schools and streets instead of subsidizing the fallout from mayoral mismanagement.Beyond the immediate boost, federal agencies invest in the long game: advanced training and mentorship that supercharge local law enforcement officers and departments. Think counterterrorism drills, cyber forensics workshops, gang intervention tactics, and unraveling knotty conspiracies—skills that turn good cops into elite guardians of the public’s safety. A visible federal footprint, patrolling high-risk zones or staking out hotspots, sends an unmistakable message to residents and businesses: your safety isn’t negotiable; it’s the priority. In Chicago, where federal surges have correlated with dips in violent incidents, shop owners are restocking shelves without fear of smash-and-grab marauders. Businesses, the lifeblood of these economies, breathe easier knowing Uncle Sam has their back.The hand-wringing over these federal deployments reeks of selective outrage, a theater of the absurd staged by those whose power depends on perpetuating victimhood narratives. It’s time to call out the nefarious ringleaders: Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, California Gov. Gavin Newsom, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, to name but a ranking few.These elitist, politically opportunistic, Blue-state barons have turned opposition to federal aid into a political sacrament, decrying National Guard arrivals and ICE ops as “executive overreach” while their cities bleed and the bodies stack. Newsom and Bass have sued the feds over enforcement surges, framing them as assaults on democracy rather than bulwarks against anarchy. Pritzker peddles disingenuous calls for impeachment as crime explodes and people die, ignoring how partnering with federal authorities could actually work. Hochul, Johnson, Scott, Frey—their playbook is identical: grandstand for the activist base, demonize the enforcers, and watch crime tick up as reelection fodder while bodies amass.This isn’t governance; it’s grand larceny of public trust, a disingenuous hustle where elitist personal ambition trumps civic duty. We must expose and condemn these charlatans for what they are: architects of violent disorder and carnage, more invested in photo-ops with rent-a-protesters than partnering for law, order, and peace.Only by stripping away their performative piety can we reclaim our cities—not as battlegrounds for ideology and politics, unions and special interests, but as sanctuaries for the law-abiding citizens who just want to live without fear.Federal law enforcement isn’t the villain; it’s the hero these streets desperately need. Let the criminals quake; so the rest of us can finally sleep soundly.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 draw to a close, remember: federal boots on urban streets are not jackboots of tyranny—they’re shields for the forgotten; dismantling cartels, quelling Leftist Billionaire-fueled riots, and easing the fiscal chokehold on cities like Chicago and Portland. No tears for thugs or ideologues; only resolve for the rest of us.Those disingenuous gaslighting politicians—Pritzker, Newsom, Hochul, Johnson, Scott, Frey, Bass—they aren’t guardians of justice; they’re opportunists peddling chaos for votes. We must expose their farce, demand real partnerships that actually fight the criminals in our streets, and reclaim the future for our children, if they can survive.Thanks for tuning in.

In 1999, two scheming colonels in the People’s Liberation Army, Qiao Liang and Wang Xiangsui, penned Unrestricted Warfare, a venomous manifesto masquerading as military theory. This book lays bare the Communist Chinese Party’s (CCP) ruthless ambition: to dismantle the United States not through conventional battles, but via a shadowy, all-encompassing assault on every pillar of American society.This doctrine fuels the CCP’s ongoing hybrid war, blending economic sabotage, cyber intrusions, cultural poison, and more to erode U.S. supremacy. The CCP, a tyrannical regime built on oppression, coercion, and deceit, views America as its prime obstacle to global domination. Their strategy exploits Western openness while shielding their own ruthless, iron-fisted control, aided by naive and complicit supporters in international business, academia, and politics who prioritize profit over principle.Economically, the CCP wields unrestricted warfare like a blunt instrument to cripple America’s prosperity. Through predatory trade practices, intellectual property theft, and forced technology transfers, Beijing siphons trillions from U.S. innovation. Huawei’s infiltration of global telecoms isn’t about fair competition—it’s espionage disguised as business, enabling data theft and network sabotage.The Trump administration has successfully pushed back with tariffs, export controls, and investment scrutiny, curbing some CCP aggression and revitalizing domestic manufacturing, but it needs to go further by fully decoupling supply chains and imposing harsher penalties on enablers. The so-called “trade war” exposed this: China’s economic coercion, including tariffs and supply chain manipulations, aims to bankrupt American industries while flooding markets with subsidized goods.Domestically, CCP-linked entities buy up U.S. farmland and critical infrastructure, not for benign investment, but to control food supplies and exert leverage during crises. Their Belt and Road Initiative ensnares nations in debt traps, but against America, it’s subtler—using economic aid warfare to sway allies and isolate the U.S. These tactics, cheered by Wall Street enablers who lobby for “engagement,” hollow out American manufacturing, costing millions of jobs and fostering dependency on a hostile power.Militarily, unrestricted warfare sidesteps direct confrontation, where the U.S. holds the edge, in favor of asymmetric erosion. The PLA’s rapid modernization—building aircraft carriers, hypersonic missiles, and space weapons—isn’t just defensive; it’s preparation for indirect strikes, like cyber warfare attacks, that could paralyze U.S. grids and command systems. Their new fighters, like the J-20, bear a striking resemblance to U.S. designs such as the F-22, a clear result of espionage and theft.China’s artificial islands in the South China Sea violate international norms, claiming territory and daring the world to respond. Espionage rings steal military tech, from fighter jets to stealth designs, accelerating Beijing’s arsenal while undermining U.S. superiority. Meanwhile, disinformation campaigns via state media and social platforms sow doubt in American resolve, portraying the U.S. military as imperialistic. The CCP’s international supporters, including academics who downplay these threats as “McCarthyism,” enable this buildup, ignoring how it endangers global stability.Societally, the CCP’s assault is a cultural blitzkrieg, polluting minds and institutions to fracture unity. Through Confucius Institutes on U.S. university campuses, they peddle propaganda, censor dissent, and recruit spies under the guise of education. Apps and software routinely harvest data while algorithmically promoting divisive content that amplifies polarization. It’s classic media warfare.All foreign exchange students who return to China after attending U.S. universities are debriefed by the CCP upon their return to glean dual-use knowledge, turning academic exchanges into intelligence ops. And Hollywood self-censors to appease Beijing, erasing Taiwan from maps and glorifying CCP narratives, while their cultural warfare exports authoritarian values, eroding basic American principles of freedom.Domestic sympathizers, from progressive elites to corporate executives, excuse this as “multiculturalism,” but it’s subversion: weakening societal cohesion through fabricated narratives and psychological operations that breed mistrust in democracy itself.Criminally, unrestricted warfare manifests in shadowy operations that blur state and crime. China’s role in the fentanyl crisis is drug warfare incarnate—state-linked labs produce precursors shipped via cartels, killing tens of thousands of Americans annually as a form of asymmetric attack. The escalating illegal marijuana trade in Oklahoma, dominated by Chinese criminal networks, has exploded into a multi-billion-dollar black market, with thousands of illicit grows tied to triads and CCP-linked entities, threatening national security and local communities.Cybercriminal networks, often with PLA backing, launch ransomware and data breaches, stealing personal information to fuel blackmail and economic disruption. Smuggling warfare includes counterfeit goods that undermine U.S. brands and human trafficking rings that exploit the vulnerable as well as humanity itself.The FBI labels this the top counterintelligence threat, yet CCP apologists in the media dismiss it as xenophobia, allowing these criminal tentacles to spread unchecked.In the pharmaceutical industry, the CCP has engineered a perilous U.S. dependency, controlling nearly 90% of antibiotic active ingredients and key supply chains. This isn’t accidental; Beijing plans to exploit it in crises by obstructing supplies and spiking prices, with the potential to cause shortages that cripple healthcare and force concessions. Forced labor taints much of this production, yet greedy, opportunistic corporations—especially in the BigPharma sphere, a conglomerate of money-grubbing reprobates if there ever was one—overlook the CCP’s slave labor for cheap costs, handing the CCP a biological warfare lever without firing a shot.Agriculturally, the CCP targets America’s breadbasket with calculated aggression. By acquiring vast swaths of U.S. farmland—over 384,000 acres as of 2022—Chinese firms are gaining a foothold in food production, with the potential to disrupt food supplies in a conflict. The CCP’s preference is to purchase land close to US military bases, raising serious concerns about espionage and strategic vulnerabilities. Chinese nationals have been caught introducing foreign plants and materials, such as smuggling dangerous fungi that could devastate crops, into the agricultural process.Resource warfare extends to the hoarding of rare earth minerals, which are essential for fertilizers, thereby creating dependencies. These moves, facilitated by mis-targeted regulations and pro-China lobbyists, threaten food security, turning America’s agricultural heartland into a vulnerability.The U.S.—and the whole of the free world—must identify and confront these actions before it’s too late. Blind “engagement” has only emboldened the CCP, whose unrestricted warfare exploits openness to sow chaos. A whole-of-society response is essential: bolstering cybersecurity, restricting technology transfers, exposing propaganda, and decoupling economically wherever and whenever possible. The whole of the free world must actively and forcefully confront the CCP’s totalitarian quest. Ignoring this invites defeat without a shot being fired. Policymakers must reject the siren song of CCP sympathizers who profit from betrayal, prioritizing national security over short-term and opportunistic gains.A world dominated by communist China would be a dystopian nightmare of surveillance, oppression, and forced servitude, where individual liberties are crushed under the boot of totalitarian control, and free nations kneel to Beijing’s whims.We cannot let this happen. It’s well past time to act.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…Before parting today, I’d like to remind you of our new project, the Underground USA Daily News Brief.

Let’s talk about something that’s at the heart of what makes a free society tick and something the toxic-Left seems not to understand: Natural Law Rights. These rights aren’t just some dusty philosophical concept; they’re the foundation of everything we hold dear about freedom. And let me be blunt—those who roll their eyes at this idea or, worse, push against it are playing a dangerous game. They’re not just wrong; they’re setting the stage for a world where liberty gets trampled. Natural Law Rights are non-negotiable, and dismissing them is a one-way ticket to tyranny.First off, what’s Natural Law? It’s not some arcane legal jargon. Think of it as the basic, universal truth that every human has certain rights just because they’re human—life, liberty, property, free speech, the right to protect yourself. These aren’t handouts from a government; they’re baked into our existence, whether you see them as coming from a Higher Power or just plain reason.Philosophers like John Locke and Thomas Aquinas hashed this out centuries ago, and their conclusion is as clear as day: we’ve got rights because we’re here, not because some bureaucrat says so. Anyone who scoffs at this is basically saying your worth depends on the state’s mood swings. That’s not just nonsense—it’s a recipe for oppression.Now, let’s take a quick trip through history.Natural Law Rights aren’t some newfangled idea; they’ve been the backbone of major leaps toward freedom throughout the ages. Take the Magna Carta in 1215—it was a big middle finger to the idea that kings could do whatever they wanted. It said, “Hey, even you’re not above the law.”Fast forward to the Charters of Freedom—the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights. These documents didn’t invent rights; they recognized them as pre-existing truths. The Declaration’s line about “unalienable Rights” isn’t just poetic fluff; it’s a battle cry for a world where people, not governments, hold the cards. So, when people dismiss this as old-school, well, they’re throwing out the blueprint for liberty.The United States, more than any other nation, was built on this truth. The Founders weren’t just tossing around ideas over tankards of ale; they were dead serious about creating a society where government’s job is to protect your God-given (or Natural Law) rights, not to play Santa Claus with them. The Bill of Rights isn’t a gift list; it’s a “keep your hands off” sign to the government. That’s why the United States has been a beacon of freedom—because we start with the assumption that we’re born free, not that we need permission to be.But some people today act like this is outdated, like we’ve outgrown the need for such “simplistic” ideas. That’s not just naive—it’s a wrecking ball to the Republic.Let’s be very clear about who the people are who actively reject Natural Law Rights: Marxists and their totalitarian cousins. In the United States today, that would be the toxic-Left progressives, democratic socialists, and their anarchist army of activists.In their world, the government isn’t just the boss—it’s the whole show. Rights? You only get what the state decides you deserve. Marxism, and every other flavor of despotism, thrives on the lie that the government is the ultimate power, the giver of all things. That’s why regimes from Stalin’s Soviet Union to Mao’s China crushed individual freedom—they couldn’t afford to let people think they had inherent rights. If you buy into that mindset, you’re not just handing over your autonomy; you’re signing up for chains. And anyone defending that garbage today needs to take a hard look in the mirror.Sadly, we’re seeing this creep into our own backyard with some progressive Democrats and their compatriot democratic socialists who’ve drunk the Marxist Kool-Aid. They’re all about giving the government more control—more power to decide what you can say, own, or do. It’s not just policy wonk stuff; it’s a worldview that says the state, not some Higher Truth, gets to call the shots. Remember when Senator Tim Kaine basically said the government’s the source of your rights? Yeah, that wasn’t a slip of the tongue; it was a red flag. When you start treating the government like the Alpha and Omega, you’re not just flirting with tyranny—you’re inviting it to dinner. And those cheering this on? They’re either clueless or complicit, and neither’s a good look.Bottom line: freedom only works if we all agree there’s something bigger than ourselves—whether it’s God, reason, or just the plain truth that we’re born with rights no one can take away. Natural Law Rights are that anchor.If we let the government become the “provider” of rights, we’re done for. Republics collapse when people forget they’re citizens, not subjects. History’s screaming this at us—look at Rome, the Soviet Union, communist China, Venezuela, Cuba, Iran, or any place where power-hungry leaders decided they were the final word. We ignore that at our peril.So, let’s hold fast to Natural Law Rights; let’s not only acknowledge them as core to our Republic, but let’s also celebrate, guard, cherish, and protect them, especially from those who would seek to undermine them; those who see themselves as the Alpha and Omega. Because without Natural Law Rights, freedom isn’t just at risk—it’s dead. And anyone who thinks otherwise? They’re not just wrong; they’re handing tyrants the keys to their own chains.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…Before parting today, I’d like to mention our new offering, the Underground USA Daily News Brief.

In recent years, I have come to realize that I have become intolerant of the intolerant and the intolerable. You know the people I am talking about: the fear-porn affected, mask-wearing Karens and their cuckolded, feminized male counterparts who immediately call you a racist, xenophobe, and/or any other kind of “phobe” they can conjure whenever they don’t get their way all the time. The type of people who have no concept of individualism, or “live and let live”; the type of person who narced on their neighbor for having family over for Thanksgiving during the farce that was the COVID pandemic.Well, I’m here to say that I—and I suspect an overwhelming majority of people both here in the US and across the free world—are done with this overbearing, aggressive bullshit and have ceased being stigmatized by the labels they hurl.I strongly suspect, after conversation with people from around the country (and the world, actually), that this awakening isn't just personal; I sense it is a collective backlash against the ideological Left's relentless assault on common sense, freedom, and reality itself. For too long, we've been force-fed narratives that twist facts to fit their agenda, all while they shame us into silence purely for the sake of control. But the tide is turning and we are tired of it all.We're tired of being lied to about the epidemic of violent crime in the Black community, a festering wound that's been glossed over with excuses and deflection. The Left's predictable playbook is monotonously old: blame systemic racism, poverty, and "white supremacy" for everything, while ignoring the grim statistics that show disproportionate rates of violent crime—homicides, shootings, assaults—emanating from urban Black neighborhoods. This isn't racism; it's reality. Cities like Chicago, Baltimore, and Detroit have become war zones, where Black-on-Black violence claims lives daily, yet the media spins it as a "gun problem" or "inequity issue" to avoid hard, blatant truths.This epidemic doesn't stay contained either. It bleeds out into surrounding suburbs and rural areas, infecting everything it touches with crime, tribalized fear, and resentment. Innocent families in once-safe towns now lock their doors tighter, businesses shutter, and communities fracture along racial lines—all because the toxic-Left insists on coddling criminals with "defund the police" nonsense and soft-on-crime policies. Bail reform lets repeat offenders back on the streets, while Soros-backed prosecutors like those in progressive strongholds refuse to charge felonies.Enough. It's time for the Black community to take ownership of this crisis and stop making excuses. Leaders like Al Sharpton and the BLM grifters have profited off victimhood narratives, but where's the accountability? Where are the results of the work they said only they could do? We need honest dialogue about family structures, education failures, and cultural glorification of thug life in music and media. Without it, the resentment builds, and the cycle continues. The silent majority demands real solutions: tougher sentencing, community policing that works, and a rejection of the toxic-Left's enabling rhetoric.Shifting gears, we're equally exhausted by the overly aggressive LGBTQ+ movement, which has morphed from a fight for basic rights—which I wholeheartedly endorse—into a crusade that demonizes heterosexuals and demands we accept alternative lifestyles as the new norm. The ideological Left pushes this with zeal, portraying anyone who questions it as a bigot. Look, I don’t give a damn who you want to sleep with or have sex with—consenting adults are free to do as they please. The problem arises when this movement invades every corner of society disproportionately, shoving its agenda down our throats. That problem is magnified when extremists in that demographic cross the line into normalizing pedophilia. If you engage in pedophilia, you deserve to be tried, convicted, and executed for that heinous abuse. No mercy there.Why do schools need drag queen story hours, where men in exaggerated female costumes read to impressionable kids while getting off on their exhibitionism? That's not education; it's indoctrination, confusing young minds about gender and sexuality before they've even hit puberty. And those pride parades? They've devolved into public spectacles of nudity and public sex on floats, broadcast for all to see—including children. The Left calls it "celebration," but it's exhibitionism that crosses the line into publicly performed pornography suitable for seedier venues. It’s forcing "acceptance" through shock value.Be who you are, sure, but don’t slam it in my face in every medium known to man—from TV shows normalizing polyamory to corporate ads virtue-signaling with rainbow flags. This isn't equality; it's supremacy, where straight, traditional families are painted as oppressive relics. We've had enough of the guilt-tripping and the erasure of biological truths. Yes, support people’s right to live privately in the manner they choose (with the exception of abusing children), but with the expectation that our society won’t be turned into a perpetual pride month.Then there's the absolute lie of globalism, peddled by the Left as a utopian dream where complete interconnection with every culture brings peace. What a despicable farce. It doesn't foster harmony; it breeds interdependency that leaves honest brokers at the mercy of tyrannical nations like communist China and despotic regimes the globalist elite foolishly—or opportunistically— welcomed into the World Trade Organization.We've seen it play out: supply chains crippled by Beijing's whims, jobs shipped overseas, and cultural dilution that erodes national identity. The Left's open-borders fetish has flooded Western nations with incompatible ideologies, from radical Islam to unchecked migration that exhausts and then overburdens resources and sparks conflict.We—the commonsense-equipped, sane people of the society—want a sovereign nation with respected borders, capable of independent existence. That means tariffs on predatory trade, energy independence from OPEC thugs, and immigration policies that prioritize assimilation over multiculturalism's failures. Globalism has empowered the UN's bureaucratic busybodies and Davos elites, who lecture us on climate hysteria while jetting around in private planes. No more. Nationalism isn't xenophobia; it's self-preservation against the elitist Left's borderless fantasy that only serves to invite chaos.We're also fed up with performative art politicians who treat elected office as a stage for their own personal advancement and party propaganda. The ideological Left excels at this, with figures like AOC turning governance into TikTok stunts and virtue-signaling tweets. We're tired of the political showboating—the endless hearings, impeachments, and outrage cycles designed to divide rather than unite.And the grotesque lying? From "mostly peaceful" riots to inflated climate doomsaying, it's all theater. Add their media lackeys—the CNN talking heads, the MSNBC hysterics—who amplify every falsehood. Then there are the disingenuous pundits and entertainers, from Hollywood hypocrites to late-night hosts to the harlots of The View, who think we care about their smug political opinions. News flash: We don't. Stick to acting or singing; your activism is as fake as your Botox. As for The View, well, that show is useless.In a nutshell, I—and I suspect an overwhelming majority of people—are tired of a small group of seemingly entitled, arrogant loudmouths always telling us what to do or even thinking they have the right. This vocal minority, amplified by the Left's echo chambers, attempts to dictate everything from speech codes to economic policy. No.We want a sovereign nation devoid of crime—and race-based crime especially, where accountability trumps excuses. People should understand the boundaries of bringing their sexual life into the public square; keep it private so that we don’t become privy to what their favorite positions are. The entertainment community needs to create content that actually entertains, devoid of the woke sermons. And politicians must represent the people, not special interest groups, their political bankrollers, or global powers.Above all, we want to be left alone—we want to be left alone by the Karens enforcing petty tyrannies, by special interest activists hijacking culture, by TV mouthpieces spewing propaganda, by the elite hoarding power, and by an overreaching government that micromanages our lives. How hard can it be for the entitled class (or the wannabe entitled class) to leave…us…alone?!Until these self-important, intellectually stunted busy-bodies stop their tyranny, we will continue to be obstructed from our Natural Law right to pursue happiness in a truly free society.Hopefully, with the sea change that is upon us, the intolerant Left's reign is at an end, because the rest of us are ready to rebuild.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…Before we part ways today, I’d like to mention our new offering, the Underground USA Daily News Brief.

American political history is full of cautionary tales about parties that crashed and burned because they got too extreme, too divided, or just couldn’t keep up with the times. Think of the Federalists, the Whigs, or smaller players like the Liberty Party—they all fell apart when they doubled down on rigid ideas or let infighting take over.Right now, the Democrat Party is staring down a similar cliff, dragged toward the edge by neo-Marxist progressives who are obsessed with ideological purity, identity politics, and rhetoric that divides more than it unites. Add to that the Left’s troubling history with inflammatory propaganda and political violence—including high-profile assassinations—and you’ve got a recipe for a party in serious trouble, not to mention a nation teetering on the brink of chaos.Back in the 1790s, the Federalists tanked because their elitist, pro-British stance turned off everyday voters. They loved to paint their opponents as wild-eyed radicals, setting the stage for divisive political attacks. The Whigs, who came together in the 1830s to push back against Andrew Jackson, fell apart because they couldn’t bridge their internal divides over slavery. Smaller groups like the Liberty and Free Soil parties fizzled out because they were so laser-focused on one issue that they couldn’t connect with a broader crowd.The pattern is clear: get too rigid, let factions run wild, lose touch with what people want, and your party’s days are numbered. Political violence, like assassinations and threats, often hung over these eras, showing just how dangerous ideological extremism can get—a lesson to which today’s Democrats appear to be deaf.The Left has a long track record of using propaganda to smear opponents, not just as wrong but as downright evil. In the Progressive Era, radical labor groups painted business owners as heartless exploiters, sometimes sparking riots or strikes. By the 1960s and 70s, Leftist activists were erroneously calling conservatives and cops fascists, which fueled campus chaos and even violence. Take the 1969 assassination attempt on a police official by the Black Panther Party or the 1970 bombing of the University of Wisconsin’s Sterling Hall, which killed a researcher—both tied to Leftist ideologies that thrived on demonizing their enemies. Today’s neo-Marxist progressives are playing a similar game, using rhetoric that turns disagreements into moral crusades.When it comes to political violence, the Left’s history is grim. In 1963, President John F. Kennedy, a Democrat, was gunned down by Lee Harvey Oswald, a Marxist obsessed with communist ideals and opposed to US policies. In 1968, Robert F. Kennedy, a Democrat senator, was killed by Sirhan Sirhan, whose motives tied into anti-Israel views and Leftist revolutionary fervor. Fast forward to 2024, and Donald Trump narrowly escaped two assassination attempts: one in July at a Pennsylvania rally, where a bullet grazed him, and another in September at his Florida golf course, where Ryan Routh, a man with Leftist activist ties, took aim. Then, in 2025, conservative activist Charlie Kirk was assassinated at Utah Valley University in what authorities called a politically motivated attack. These incidents, while not directly ordered by the Democrat Party, its leadership, or the elite within their ranks, point to a dangerous pattern of Leftist rhetoric that dehumanizes opponents and fuels violence.Starting in the 1990s, the Democrat Party began sliding into a new kind of progressivism. Think tanks and intellectuals pushed hard for radical economic redistribution, identity politics, and heavy-handed regulations, often framing dissenters as morally bankrupt. Barack Obama’s presidency, sold as pragmatic, gave this shift a big boost. Policies like Obamacare and massive federal spending empowered the party’s radical wing, while opponents were brushed off as selfish or bigoted. It’s the same old Leftist playbook: divide, demonize, repeat.Under Joe Biden, these neo-Marxist ideas took center stage. Policies like the Green New Deal and sprawling social programs pushed away moderates and working-class voters who used to be the party’s backbone. Worse, the rhetoric—labeling dissent as racism, fascism, or plain ignorance—shut down debate and ramped up division. It’s a modern echo of the Left’s historical tactic of turning policy fights into moral battles, and it’s tearing their party apart.The fallout is hard to miss. Democrats have taken a beating in state and federal elections, losing ground because voters aren’t buying their increasingly radical pitch. Political violence is also spiking—think of the 2022 plot to kill Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, driven by Leftist anger over ideological issues, or the recent attacks on Trump and Kirk. This mirrors what happens when extremist rhetoric takes hold: parties fracture, and violence creeps in.Like the Anti-Masonic or Free Soil parties, neo-Marxist progressives are so fixated on their vision of a perfect society that they ignore practical governance. History isn’t kind to that approach—it leads to electoral wipeouts and, too often, social unrest, culminating in violence. The Democrats are on that path and—in fact—far down that road, prioritizing factional loyalty over broad appeal.If the Democrats want to survive, they need to act fast and cut ties with their neo-Marxist wing. Centrists and pragmatists have to take the wheel, focusing on policies that speak to working families, small-business owners, and moderates—not just ideologues with purity tests. That means ditching the divisive rhetoric and building a coalition that actually solves problems.History doesn’t play favorites with parties that let radicals call the shots. The Federalists, Whigs, and others learned that the hard way, collapsing under extremism and division. The Democrats, now in the grip of neo-Marxist progressives who lean on demonizing propaganda and are linked to a history of political violence, are at a crossroads. If they don’t break free—if they don’t cleave the neo-Marxists from their ranks, they’re headed for irrelevance, internal collapse, and a legacy tied to the chaos their rhetoric invites.The ghosts of failed parties are watching, and the Democrats can’t afford to ignore 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…Before we part ways today, I’d like to mention our new offering, the Underground USA Daily News Brief.

If they don’t, they risk collapse and a legacy heaped onto the other carcasses of the doomed political parties of American history.Until next time… Get full access to Underground USA at www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe

The division in the United States, the ideological and political division, has reached an untenable level. With one faction growing increasingly comfortable with confrontation and violence as its preferred method of conflict resolution, we are slowly reaching the Rubicon of fracture. We simply cannot continue down this path without threatening a rupture in our society that will end the Republic as we know it.The political assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk was a lethal byproduct of a society that has allowed itself to be manipulated by ideological and political charlatans and opportunists, and desensitized to violence on the whole. This has resulted in our one faction in our communities becoming jadedly divided to the point of accepting violence.It’s quite difficult to deny this as a fact. Kirk, whether you agreed with his positions on any number of issues, made his name by engaging in the debate arena; in appearances and on platforms where he would use words, not fists, knives, or guns, to persuade his ideological and political opponents. Sometimes he would succeed, and sometimes he would fail. But he and his supporters never—ever—devolved to violence of any sort.In fact, between the two opposing ideological and political factions facing off in the United States—and this is true of the divide endemic in the free West—only one faction has come to embrace violence as a chief tool in conflict resolution: the neo-Marxist-inspired Left. Where it is rare to hear of a conservative group taking to the streets in protest, it is even rarer to hear of a group from the ideological Right committing acts of violence.Conversely, whenever today’s toxic-Left doesn’t get its way—whether it be in losing an election, a piece of legislation passing into law that they oppose, or a Supreme Court decision not going their way—they not only take to the streets in protest, they employ—literally—the likes of Antifa, BLM, and any number of special interest protest groups to wreck havoc and execute violence in the streets.And just a little over a year ago, the toxic-Left’s embrace of lethal violence as conflict resolution took center stage in Butler, Pennsylvania in the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, culminating on September 10, 2025, with the assassination of Charlie Kirk; a husband, father, a God-fearing Christian, and, by all accounts listening to people who actually knew him, a good human being.Yes, social media enables faceless bravado, often with inaccurate or outright false information, facilitating typewritten and sometimes verbal confrontation. And yes, our news and entertainment industries (slowly morphing into one in the same) pump visuals of violence and carnage into our heads, now in a 24-7-365 dosage to the point where we are numb to even the most horrific scenes imaginable. But these are only the outlier poisons that have delivered almost half the nation to believe violence—and lethal violence at that—is an acceptable way to settle their differences.The prime culprits, the main poison, in our society, who move people to violent confrontation, are the political and ideological charlatans who shop identity and grievance politics to fuel their opportunistic gain. Until recently, their performative-art politicking was meant to stoke discontent and resentment to harness the people’s anger in hopes of motivating them to donate to their political campaigns and activist NGOs. The more outrageous the accusation and the more bloodthirsty the rhetoric, the more potent the manipulation, and the greater the gains. After all, as faithful followers of Marx, Engels, Gramsci, and Alinsky. The ends justify the means.Prime examples of this ideological and political manipulation include:* Joe Biden (2024): “It’s time to put Trump in a bullseye.”* Daniel Goldman (2023): “He [Trump] is not only unfit, he is destructive to our democracy, and he has to be eliminated.”* Maxine Waters (2018): “If you see anybody from that [Trump] Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gas station, you get out and you create a crowd. And you push back on them. And you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere.”* Ayanna Pressley (2020): “There needs to be unrest in the streets for as long as there’s unrest in our lives.”* Cory Booker (2018): That’s my call to action here. Please just don’t come here and then go home. Go to the Hill today…Please, get up in the face of some congresspeople.”* Nancy Pelosi (2018): “I just don’t even know why there aren’t uprisings all over the country. And maybe there will be.”* Tim Kaine (2017): “So, the way we get outside the bubble is we take advantage of this tremendous public outcry against the administration…What we’ve got to do is fight in Congress, fight in the courts, fight in the streets, fight online, fight at the ballot box, and now there’s the momentum to be able to do this.”* Chuck Schumer (2020): “I want to tell you, Gorsuch. I want to tell you, 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.”* David Plouffe (Pre-2024): “It is not enough to simply beat Trump. He must be destroyed thoroughly. His kind must not rise again.”And then there is little-known toxic-Left activist Quintez Brown, who in 2022 said, “Time to Destroy Trump & Co.,” which is posted publicly before he attempted to kill Louisville, Kentucky, mayoral candidate Craig Greenberg by firing six shots at his campaign headquarters.You can’t really go a full news cycle without hearing someone from the toxic-Left calling President Trump a Nazi or comparing him to Hitler. That penchant for demonization has washed over the whole of those the toxic-Left sees as opposition, to anything and anyone at any time. Republicans? Nazis. Conservatives? Fascists. MAGA supporter? An antichrist.The relentless demonization of political opponents—slapping labels like "Nazi" or "Hitler" on anyone who disagrees—creates a toxic brew that fuels violence and threatens the very foundations of our free society. This is a deliberate, manipulative tactic that dehumanizes people, painting them as monsters who must be destroyed at all costs.When polled, a significant number of people in both major political parties now see the other side as outright evil, a mindset that leads to the justification of aggression in the minds of the easily manipulated. Social media cesspools and partisan hacks amplify this poison, turning echo chambers into breeding grounds for hate. The result? Indiscriminate terrorism, where vague, inflammatory rhetoric inspires the intellectually susceptible to act, as seen in recent celebrations of Charlie Kirk’s assassination. This manipulation isn’t fringe either. From pundits on MSNBC attempting to blame Kirk’s assassination on his free speech rhetoric to Illinois Governor JB Pritzker trying to blame Kirk’s assassination on the unrest on Capitol Hill on January 6th, the opportunistic and, yes, fascistic toxic-Left uses this manipulation as its stock and trade, using methods tried and true.Look at history: the Nazis themselves used this same playbook, dehumanizing Jews and rivals to justify atrocities. Today’s version is no less dangerous, with data linking such rhetoric to surges in threats and hate crimes.This stunted intellect—this Deep State swamp garbage—is a direct assault on the principles all true Americans hold dear: liberty, civility, and the rule of law. By reducing opponents to cartoonish and even truly evil villains, it obliterates the honest debate that a free society demands, replacing it with fear and division.Many on social media rightly call out this poli-media-driven hysteria for radicalizing the unstable, turning policy disputes into apocalyptic crusades. Worse, it erodes trust in our institutions, normalizing mob tactics over elections.A 2024 study warns that this nonsense makes folks excuse violence if it’s “their side” doing it, fracturing our nation into warring tribes. Conservatives, Libertarians, Independents, and sane Democrats must stand together and demand better. We must ridicule and genuinely condemn violence as a method for conflict resolution. We must exact a mortally serious consequence for those who use assassination and violence against their political and ideological opposition. That starts with rejecting these manipulative lies, calling for accountability, and defending the open discourse that keeps America free.Anything less loads the bullet into the chamber of the gun belonging to the next assassin and hands victory to those who would celebrate in the end of our 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…Before parting today, I’d like to mention our new offering, the Underground USA Daily News Brief.

When political charlatans peddle hate, dehumanizing opponents as “Nazis” or “evil,” they ignite violence in the susceptible. This isn’t just politics—it’s a direct assault on liberty and civility.We must reject this poison, demand accountability, and restore honest debate. Conservatives, Libertarians, and sane Democrats alike must unite against violence as a tool of conflict resolution and political opportunism. Our Republic’s survival depends on it.My thoughts and prayers go out to t

In an era where social media amplifies every petty grievance, the "Karen" archetype (and this embodies men and women, but it seems to be more prevalent among females for the feminization of the American male over the years) has become the poster child for unchecked narcissism and entitlement.Picture her: the middle-aged woman with a bob haircut and a perpetual scowl, demanding the world bend to her whims. This isn't just a meme; it's a symptom of a deeper malaise—self-absorption so profound it borders on sociopathy. Arrogance drips from her every demand, convinced the universe owes her. Overblown entitlement convinces her that rules are for others, and narcissism blinds her to the humanity around her.This mindset isn't harmless; it's a poison eroding the sense of community that once defined American life. From neighborhood barbecues to national pastimes like baseball, the "Karen" ethos prioritizes "me" over "we," turning shared spaces into battlegrounds of ego. And nowhere was this more disgustingly on display than at a recent Miami Marlins game, where a woman, now infamously dubbed "Karen the Ballsnatcher," bullied a Father into surrendering a home run ball he had retrieved for his son.The incident unfolded on September 6, 2025, during a matchup between the Philadelphia Phillies and the Miami Marlins. Harrison Bader smashed a home run, sending the ball sailing into the stands. A Father, thrilled to share the magic of baseball with his young son—on his birthday, snagged the souvenir and handed it to the boy, who beamed with unadulterated joy. This is the stuff of American dreams: a simple, heartwarming gesture at the nation's pastime, fostering bonds across generations. But enter "Karen the Ballsnatcher" who, late to grabbing the ball as her own, decided this joy was hers to confiscate. What followed was a masterclass in bullying, entitlement, and zero self-awareness.Video footage captured the horror show in excruciating detail. The woman, her face twisted in self-righteous fury, marched up to the father and son duo. "I want that ball," she barked as she poked the Father in the chest, ignoring the shocked and child's crestfallen expression as he clutched his prize. The Father, clearly uncomfortable but trying to de-escalate, explained it was for his kid…on his birthday.Undeterred, this harpy escalated, berating the man like he was a thief in her personal kingdom. "It's mine because I was there first," she whined, as if proximity granted ownership over someone else's good fortune, and ignoring the fact that if she really was the first one there, she would be in possession of the ball.Witnesses described her as "going full heel," spewing more cringeworthy demands even after the deed was done. The Father, cornered by her relentless aggression and the unwanted attention, caved and surrendered the ball. The boy? Left empty-handed, the innocence of the moment shattered by a stranger's greed."Karen the Ballsnatcher" embodies the worst of narcissistic entitlement. Waking up as the most hated person in the country must not have been a great feeling—but that would only have an impact if she even cared. Her arrogance assumed her desire and trumped a child's delight and a Father's generosity. Self-absorption blinded her to the human cost; she didn't care about the embarrassment or the tears welling in that little boy's eyes or the awkward humiliation etched on the dad's face. So, let's be hypercritical here: this woman isn't just rude, she isn’t just narcissistic and self-absorbed; she's a cultural vampire, sucking the life out of communal joy.Bullies like her weaponize their perceived victimhood, turning a fun outing into a spectacle of shame and embarrassment. The Father and son, identified as Drew and Lincoln Feltwell, broke their silence, expressing heartbreak over the ordeal, with Drew lamenting, "Putting the ball in his glove and then taking it back killed me."Thankfully, the story didn't end there. The Marlins staff, witnessing the childish injustice, stepped in with a goodie bag full of merchandise, including signed baseballs and jerseys, handed to Lincoln with an apology and birthday wishes. Harrison Bader, the home run hero, went further, meeting Lincoln in the Phillies' locker room after their 9-3 win, gifting him a signed bat, a moment captured in heartwarming photos shared by the team.And epitomizing the outrage felt by millions at “Ms. Ballsnatcher’s” cruelty, and in a remarkable gesture, the owner of Camper World, moved by Lincoln's story and outraged by “Ms. Ballsnatcher’s” selfishness, gifted the Feltwell family a new camper and two tickets to the World Series, ensuring a memory far grander than the stolen baseball. These acts of kindness restored some faith in community, but they shouldn't have been necessary.This isn't an isolated tantrum; it's emblematic of how the "Karen" mindset is killing Americanism. Baseball embodies our communal spirit; it’s a symbol of the “American neighborhood”—the crack of the bat, the roar of the crowd, the shared thrill of underdogs and heroes. It's where strangers high-five over foul balls and families create lifelong memories.But when entitlement invades these sanctuaries, it fractures the social glue. The Father's act was pure Americanism: prioritizing family, sharing the wealth of experience, building community one home run ball at a time. “Karen the Ballsnatcher's” interference? A narcissistic assault on that ethos, reducing a public event to her private entitlement claim.Zoom out, and the damage is epidemic. Self-absorbed individuals like her clog customer service lines, harass service workers, and poison online discourse, all while decrying "injustice" that exists only in their heads. This arrogance fosters isolation; communities thrive on empathy and compromise, not demands and division.In a nation born from collective struggle—the American Revolution, the Civil War, the moon landing, and even the attacks of September 11, 2001—Americanism means "E pluribus unum," out of many, one. Yet, the Karen creed preaches "me first," eroding trust, brotherhood, and camaraderie. Neighborhood watches turn into Home Owners Association tyrants; volunteer groups dissolve under ego clashes. Even in politics—especially in politics, this narcissism manifests as polarized echo chambers, where personal grudges, self-importance, and ideological greed eclipse national unity.The fallout from the Marlins game underscores the toll. Social media erupted with outrage; memes roasted “Ms. Ballsnatcher's” meltdown, with fans chanting "Karen" and booing her until she flipped the crowd the middle-finger, and she and her embarrassed companion fled. The Phillies distanced themselves, but the stain lingers.Lincoln's goodie bag, signed bat, camper, and World Series tickets are silver linings, but they can't erase the lesson taught: that the arrogant selfishness of the loudest and most persistent jackass in the room, today, usually wins out. It's a far cry from the America of yore, where baseball heroes like Babe Ruth and Roberto Clemente, Carlton Fisk, and Ryne Sandberg gifted balls to wide-eyed fans, reinforcing community over conquest, fostering camaraderie and goodwill.To reclaim our intrinsic sense of American community—today most often seen in rural America, we must call out this narcissism and condemn it at every turn. Shun and shame the “Karens” who arrogantly demand special treatment; celebrate the parents who put family first and teach their children morality, ethics, and kindness.Americanism isn't about individual trophies—it's about the shared scoreboard of life and learning to hit the curveballs, as the late, great Jimmy Buffett would say. Until we dismantle this arrogant, selfish, “me-first,” entitled facade, our communities will continue to unravel, one stolen home run ball at a time.The next time you see a Karen brewing, remember the Marlins bleachers: her victory is—and always will be—everyone's loss.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…Before parting today, I’d like to mention our new offering, the Underground USA Daily News Brief.

In today's America, the toxic-Left—embodied by Democrat activists, progressive academics, and self-proclaimed social justice warriors—peddles a poisonous worldview that divides society into rigid camps: the oppressed and the oppressors. This binary isn't some fresh invention born of genuine empathy; it's a direct descendant of Marxist ideology, repackaged to erode the core American values of individualism, self-sufficiency, and self-responsibility.What began as Karl Marx's economic class struggle has metastasized into a cultural weapon wielded by the Left to foster perpetual victimhood, justify mob rule, and dismantle the merit-based society that made America exceptional. The result? A nation teetering on the brink of collectivist tyranny, where personal achievement is vilified as "privilege" and group grievances trump individual rights.To understand this threat, we must trace its origins back to Marxism's foundational texts. In The Communist Manifesto (1848), Marx and Engels declared that "the history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles," pitting the bourgeoisie (the oppressors) against the proletariat (the oppressed). This framework posited that societal progress comes only through conflict, where the oppressed rise to overthrow their exploiters.Marx viewed capitalism as inherently oppressive, with the ruling class maintaining power through economic domination. Oppression, in Marxist terms, wasn't about individual injustices but systemic exploitation rooted in material conditions. This wasn't mere theory; it inspired revolutions that slaughtered millions in the name of "equality," from Soviet gulags to Mao's Cultural Revolution.Fast-forward to the 20th century, and this class-based dichotomy has evolved into "cultural Marxism," courtesy of the Frankfurt School thinkers like Herbert Marcuse and Theodor Adorno. Exiled from Nazi Germany, both adapted Marx's ideas to Western societies, arguing that oppression extended beyond economics to culture, family, and identity.Instead of just workers vs. capitalists, they introduced multiple axes of domination: race, gender, sexuality, and more. This birthed intersectionality, coined by Kimberlé Crenshaw in 1989 but rooted in Marxist dialectics, where individuals are ranked by overlapping oppressions—e.g., a black woman is "doubly oppressed" compared to a white man. The goal? To destabilize capitalist societies by sowing division, framing Western norms, like the nuclear family or meritocracy, as tools of control.Enter the modern American Left and especially the toxic-Left, where this Marxist offspring thrives unchecked. Democrat activists and the toxic-Left have weaponized the "oppressed vs. oppressor" lens in identity politics, turning it into a bludgeon against anyone deemed privileged.Critical Race Theory (CRT), pushed in schools and corporations, insists America is irredeemably racist, with Whites as eternal oppressors and minorities as perpetual victims. Protests like those after George Floyd's death devolved into riots, justified as "resistance" against systemic oppression, echoing Marxist calls for upheaval. Gender ideology follows suit: men are oppressors in a "patriarchy," women and trans individuals oppressed, leading to absurd policies like men in women's sports or bathrooms.The Left's obsession with "equity" over equality demands outcomes rigged by group identity, not individual effort—think affirmative action quotas that punish high achievers.This framework doesn't liberate; it enslaves. By reducing complex human interactions to power struggles, it fosters a culture of grievance where personal responsibility evaporates. The toxic-Left tells minorities they're doomed without government intervention, breeding dependency on welfare states and victim narratives. Democrat policies amplify this: endless student loan forgiveness excuses poor choices, while "reparations" debates ignore individual agency.This directly assaults American individualism—the belief that anyone can rise through hard work, as embodied in the Declaration of Independence's pursuit of happiness. Self-sufficiency? Mocked as "bootstrap mythology" by Leftists who prefer collectivist handouts. Self-responsibility? Replaced by blaming "systems" for personal failures, turning citizens into wards of the state.The threat is existential. Collectivism, the heart of this oppressed-oppressor dogma, prioritizes group loyalty over individual liberty, leading to conformity and censorship. We've seen it in cancel culture, where dissenters are branded oppressors and silenced—think J.K. Rowling or Joe Rogan. It erodes meritocracy, stifling innovation; why strive when success is labeled oppression? Ultimately, it paves the way for authoritarianism, as the "oppressed" demand power seizures, mirroring Marxist regimes' descent into dictatorship.If this concept continues to flourish in the United States and the free Western world, the consequences will be catastrophic. We'll witness the collapse of individual freedoms into a hive-mind society, where speech is policed, economies stagnate under redistribution schemes, and divisions erupt into civil strife.History warns us: Marxist-inspired movements have birthed famines, purges, and genocides, claiming well over 100 million lives. If left unabated, America, once a beacon of self-made success, will devolve into a fractured dystopia of eternal conflict, with no room for dreamers or doers.The toxic Left's agenda isn't progress—it's regression to serfdom. We must all wake up, or lose the Republic forever.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…Before we part, let me mention our new offering, the Underground USA Daily News Brief.

If you really like it and find it deserving, please consider contributing to the effort. Now, as we wrap up today's episode on the Marxist poison infiltrating America's soul, remember: the toxic-Left's "oppressed vs. oppressor" divide is no accident—it's a recycled communist playbook designed to crush individualism, self-sufficiency, and personal responsibility.Democrat activists push this victimhood cult to breed dependency, silence dissent, and rig society against merit. They've twisted Marx's class war into endless identity battles, eroding the American dream.But heed this warning: If we let this flourish, the US and the free West will crumble into authoritarian chaos—speech censored, economies strangled, freedoms lost. We must all fight back now, or kiss liberty goodbye. Thanks for listening; stay vigilant.Until next time… Get full access to Underground USA at www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe

The streets of Chicago are bleeding, and the Democrat leadership, led by Chicago Teachers Union lackey, Mayor Brandon Johnson, seems content to let the city drown in its own bloody chaos. Over the Labor Day weekend of 2025—and I am writing this on Sunday, so this number will rise, at least 50 people were shot, eight fatally, in a relentless wave of violence that has become all too familiar in this once-great city.These numbers are not mere statistics; they are a grim testament to the failure of Democrat policies that prioritize political posturing over the safety of citizens. From Chicago to Los Angeles, New York to Philadelphia, urban America is under a murderous siege, and the Democrats in charge are complicit in the carnage.In Chicago, the epicenter of this urban decay, the weekend’s violence included a woman shot dead in a South Shore apartment and two men gunned down in East Garfield Park by a suspect emerging from a dark SUV. These incidents are not isolated; they are part of a broader pattern of bloodshed that has left Chicagoans living in fear.The city’s Violence Reduction Dashboard laughingly claims a 33% drop in homicides and a 38% reduction in shootings in the first half of 2025, yet these figures ring hollow when 50 people are shot in a single weekend. The Democrat narrative of “progress” is a cruel mirage, obscuring the reality of bodies piling up in morgues and communities shattered by grief.Mayor Johnson’s response to this crisis is not to double down on law enforcement or demand accountability from criminals but to sign a toothless executive order titled “Protecting Chicago,” aimed at thwarting President Trump’s potential deployment of the National Guard to curb the city’s violence; a brazen display of political theater, prioritizing opposition to Trump over the lives of Chicago’s residents. Johnson’s order directs city agencies to file Freedom of Information Act requests to monitor federal actions and insists that Chicago police remain uncooperatively independent from federal law enforcement. This isn’t leadership; it is a deliberate, politically-motivated choice to shield criminals under the ridiculous guise of protecting “Chicagoans’ rights,” as if the true victims—those gunned down in their homes and on their streets—are mere collateral damage in a political war.“No number of social programs can stop a bullet once it’s fired…”This pattern of Democrat failure extends far beyond Chicago.In New York, Los Angeles, and other major cities, progressive prosecutors and mayors have embraced policies that coddle criminals, framing them as victims of systemic inequities rather than perpetrators of violence. From defunding police to reducing sentences for violent offenders, Democrats have consistently chosen ideology over reality, leaving law-abiding citizens to bear the cost in shattered families and lost lives.In Chicago, this past Fourth of July weekend saw 55 people shot, eight fatally, a brutal reminder that holiday celebrations are no respite from the city’s violence epidemic. Yet, progressive Democrats like Johnson continue to tout their “holistic approach” to safety, which seems to involve little more than pathetic platitudes about youth employment and mental health services while bullets fly.The insincere, hypocritical gaslighting is staggering. Johnson claims his administration is “building the safest, most affordable big city in America,” yet the blood-soaked streets tell a dramatically different story. His summer safety plan, heralded as a test of progressive governance, has failed spectacularly, with 34 people shot, five fatally, just a few weeks earlier in August. It’s a weekly occurrence that has become mundane to the ear for Chicagoans.Meanwhile, the mayor’s hollow rhetoric drools on, while his insistence on “investing in people” ignores the harsh truth: no number of social programs can stop a bullet once it’s fired. His refusal to cooperate with federal efforts to curb violence—efforts that could bring much-needed resources to a city drowning in crime—reveals a deeper allegiance to the Democrat Party’s retarded anti-Trump dogma than to his own constituents, and I use that word “retarded” literally.This intellectually-challenged obsession with opposing Trump at all costs has blinded Democrats to the suffering of their constituents, to the blood that runs in the streets of their cities. When Trump suggested deploying the National Guard to address Chicago’s crime wave, Governor JB Pritzker, an embarrassment to Illinois politics if there ever was one, dismissed it as an “invasion,” and Johnson doubled down with his executive order. Their defiance is not rooted in principle, but in politics—a desperate attempt to maintain their virtue-signaling progressive credentials while their cities burn. Trump’s alarm over the slaughter in Chicago’s streets underscores a reality Democrats refuse to confront: Chicago’s crime problem—and in all major urban areas across the United States—is out of control, and their policies have failed.The Democrat Party’s broader narrative—that criminals are victims of a capitalist society, deserving of sympathy rather than punishment—has fueled this urban catastrophe. By framing violent offenders as products of systemic injustice, Democrats have excused behavior that destroys lives and communities.In Chicago, where 205 homicides have already been recorded in 2025, including 170 fatal shootings, making it the murder capital of the United States, the refusal to prioritize law enforcement over failed social justice experiments has deadly consequences. Sincerely-based violence intervention groups, reliant on government funding, are starved by policies executed to maximize votes rather than secure neighborhoods, yet Johnson’s focus remains on resisting Trump rather than addressing the root causes of crime.The true victims—the families mourning loved ones, the communities living in fear, the shattered families and extinguished futures—are ignored in favor of a narrative that paints criminals as oppressed. A 25-year-old woman shot dead on the South Shore, a 46-year-old man killed in a triple shooting in Pilsen—these are not statistics, they are human beings whose lives were cut short because Democrat leaders refuse to act non-politically. Across America, from San Francisco’s shoplifting epidemic to Philadelphia’s surge in carjackings, the story is the same: Democrat policies embolden criminals while leaving citizens defenseless.It’s time to call this what it is: a betrayal. Democrat leaders in Chicago and beyond have abandoned their duty to protect their constituents, choosing instead to wage a political crusade against President Trump while their cities descend into carnage and chaos.The blood of Chicago’s 50 Labor Day weekend shooting victims, and that number will rise, stains their hands, and no number of executive orders or vomitous progressive rhetoric can wash it away.Until Democrats prioritize the safety of law-abiding citizens over the coddling of criminals, their lust for political power, and their imbecilic hatred of a man who has offered to help, America’s urban centers will remain battlegrounds, its streets will run with the blood of innocents and criminals alike, and the body count will continue to rise.In Closing…Before we wrap up, I'd like to highlight a new offering that readers and listeners have been writing in to tell me they enjoy. Underground USA now offers a daily news brief in both written and podcast formats. It’s designed to eliminate the partisan rhetoric and clickbait fluff that have infested mainstream media and many new media sources, all in pursuit of the almighty ad revenue.We draw from sources across the spectrum and whittle stories down to a concise, fact-based summary so that you can actually consume news about what’s happening at home and around the world without being lectured or solicited. Please give it a look or listen, and if you like it, subscribe, contribute, like it, and share.And as we wrap up this abbreviated Labor Day episode, let’s reflect on Chicago’s Labor Day weekend bloodshed—50 shot, five dead, so far, as of Sunday afternoon.This needless bloodshed lays bare the catastrophic failure of Democrat leadership. Mayor Brandon Johnson and Illinois Governor JB Pritzker’s defiance of federal help and obsession with opposing President Trump prioritize politics over people.From Chicago to New York, Democrats coddle criminals, framing them as victims while actual victims bleed. The body count rises, yet progressive dogma blinds leaders to the carnage and chaos, and all because of their deranged hatred for one man who has said continuously he wanted to help stop the violence.It’s a betrayal of every citizen living in fear. It’s a betrayal of every child buried because of progressive policies. Until next time, stay safe, stay informed, and never stop questioning those in power.

In 1796, George Washington warned in his Farewell Address that the rise of political factions could tear apart the young Republic, predicting that "the spirit of party" would lead to "cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men" manipulating the system for power, fostering division and eroding trust in governance. His words ring alarmingly true today as hyper-partisan gerrymandering, particularly by the Left in states like California, New York, Illinois, and Maryland, threatens the democratic process. While both political extremes engage in this practice, the aggressive tactics of leftist-led redistricting in 2025 exemplify a dangerous escalation, undermining fair representation and fueling political tribalism.Gerrymandering, the manipulation of electoral district boundaries to favor one party, distorts the will of the electorate. In 2025, California’s Democrat leadership, under Governor Gavin Newsom, has pushed a brazen plan to redraw the state’s 52 congressional districts to secure at least five additional Democrat seats. Newsom frames this as a counter to Republican gerrymandering in states like Texas, claiming it protects democracy.Yet, this tit-for-tat escalation, enabled by a legislative package set for a November 2025 special election, risks entrenching Democrat dominance regardless of voter sentiment. The proposal’s loophole—allowing activation if any state, including blue states like Illinois, redistricts—reveals its true intent: power consolidation, not fairness.New York’s Governor Kathy Hochul has signaled a similar willingness to “fight fire with fire,” preparing to counter Republican redistricting with aggressive map-drawing to favor Democrats. In Illinois, Democrats, who already dominate the state legislature, are poised to further manipulate congressional and state legislative maps to cement their grip, building on past successes where they secured 82% of congressional seats despite winning only 59% of the 2020 presidential vote. Maryland’s infamous “praying mantis” 3rd Congressional District, a contorted map designed to favor Democrats, remains a stark example of how far partisans will go to rig elections, with plans in 2025 to double down on such tactics.These efforts extend beyond Congress to state legislatures, where gerrymandering entrenches party control over local policy. In California, Democrats’ supermajority in the state legislature faces little challenge due to carefully crafted districts that pack Republican voters into uncompetitive zones. Illinois and Maryland follow suit, with Democrat-drawn maps diluting opposition votes through “packing” and “cracking”—concentrating rival voters into a few districts or spreading them thinly across many to minimize their influence. This manipulation ensures that state-level policies, from education to taxation, reflect the ruling party’s agenda rather than a balanced representation of the electorate.Both parties are guilty of gerrymandering, but the Left’s 2025 maneuvers stand out for their audacity and scale. Republicans in Texas and Florida have drawn maps to secure marginally unearned seats, yet Democrats’ response in Blue states is not defensive but opportunistic, exploiting their control to maximize power. This cycle of mutually assured gerrymandering, as described by scholars, risks a “race to the bottom” where competitive districts vanish, and elections become foregone conclusions. The result is a Congress and state legislatures that cater to partisan extremes, sidelining moderates and independents who represent the broader American center.Washington’s warning about factionalism is chillingly prescient here. He cautioned that political parties, driven by “the alternate domination of one faction over another,” would prioritize power over the public good, leading to “disorders and miseries” that could invite authoritarianism. Hyper-partisan gerrymandering embodies this threat, as it allows politicians to choose their voters, not vice versa, eroding the core democratic principle of representation. By creating safe districts, parties incentivize extremism, as candidates pander to their base rather than seeking consensus. This fuels polarization, reduces voter turnout, and erodes trust in institutions, as citizens feel their votes are meaningless. It also facilitates performative politics by which unqualified people run for office on feigned outrage for purely opportunistic reasons (think AOC, Jasmine Crockett, and the whole of The Squad).The harm is evident in data. In California, Democrats’ proposed maps could yield 48 of 52 congressional seats, far exceeding their vote share. In Illinois, gerrymandering has already produced a congressional delegation that misaligns with statewide voting patterns. Such distortions mean that a party receiving fewer votes can secure disproportionate power, undermining the “one person, one vote” principle that propagandistic Democrats are so fond of trotting out whenever an election doesn’t go their way. State legislatures, equally skewed, pass laws that reflect partisan priorities rather than public will, from restrictive voting measures to unchecked spending to legislation that defies federal authority. This dysfunction, as Washington foresaw, risks public disillusionment and the collapse of cooperative governance.To break this cycle, we must remove human bias from redistricting. Perhaps a pure AI-tasked algorithm, designed to prioritize population equality, compactness, and contiguity while ignoring partisan data, offers a solution. Unlike partisan legislatures or even bipartisan commissions, which can deadlock or compromise fairness, an AI-driven process could generate maps that reflect demographic realities, not political agendas. Studies show that computer-generated maps, tested against millions of alternatives, can produce fairer outcomes, reducing bias and restoring competitive elections. For example, the Define-Combine Procedure, where parties divide and pair districts, has shown promise in simulations, yielding maps closer to proportional representation.Politicians must abandon tribalism and return to serving the people, not their parties. Gerrymandering, whether by the Left or Right, betrays the public trust Washington urged us to protect. By adopting AI-driven redistricting, states can ensure that voters choose their representatives, not the other way around. This reform would honor Washington’s vision of a Republic free from factional tyranny, fostering a democracy where ideas, not power grabs, prevail.Condemning political tribalism and embracing impartial systems is not just a practical necessity—it’s a moral imperative to preserve the Republic for future generations.Then, when we return, our segment on America’s Third Watch, broadcast nationally from our flagship station WGUL AM860 & FM93.7 in Tampa, Florida.In Closing…As we close today’s episode, I wanted to mention something that happened in Scotland recently, where a 14-year-old girl was arrested for brandishing bladed weapons—a long-knife and an axe—in defense of her sister, 12, as a Bulgarian immigrant, in country for four years, refused commands to “leave them alone.” It is unclear why the immigrant was filming the minor children (one can only suppose); nevertheless, the act obviously moved the children to feel threatened enough to feel they had to defend themselves.The fact that authorities arrested the child, indicating they believed the child was the perpetrator, rather than detaining and questioning the immigrant about why he was filming minor children—especially in a time when child trafficking, sex slavery of children, and immigrant rape gangs target young females—is emblematic of the ideological cancer that had infested ur societies.If our children are compromised to the point of being arrested for defending themselves–even if it turns out to be a misunderstanding, then we as a species have lost our way completely. An adult’s right to film children shouldn’t supersede a child’s right to feel safe.I applaud the 14-year-old for having the courage to stand up to an adult in an effort to protect her sister. If only more adults had the courage to step up when crap like this is happening…I just needed to get that off my chest.In closing, let’s reflect on George Washington’s warning: political factions threaten our Republic’s soul. Hyper-partisan gerrymandering, especially the Left’s aggressive 2025 tactics in California, New York, Illinois, and Maryland, distorts democracy, rigging elections and fueling tribalism. Both sides are guilty, but the cycle must end. Imagine a future where an AI-driven algorithm redraws districts fairly, free from partisan greed, ensuring voters, not politicians, hold the power. Let’s demand leaders serve the people, not parties, and reject the division Washington feared.Until next time… Get full access to Underground USA at www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe

The grand experiment of globalism, long championed by unelected elites and their sprawling bureaucratic empires, is unraveling. The World Economic Forum (WEF), that self-anointed arbiter of humanity’s future, has spent decades peddling a vision of interconnected economies, homogenized cultures, and centralized control under the guise of progress. But the cracks in their utopian facade are now impossible to ignore.From the rejection of their “woke capitalism” to the resurgence of nationalism and individualism, societies worldwide are pushing back against the globalist agenda. This shift, far from a mere pendulum swing, signals a profound awakening—one that prioritizes sovereignty, self-determination, and the individual over the collectivist dogma of globalist institutions.The WEF’s vision, cloaked in buzzwords like “sustainability” and “inclusivity,” has always been about control. Their annual Davos gatherings, where billionaires and bureaucrats sip champagne while plotting the world’s future, have produced little more than a bloated, top-down framework that erodes local autonomy.According to a ZeroHedge article from August 2025, the globalists are now scrambling to “rebrand” their agenda after repeated setbacks. Their so-called “Great Reset” has collided with reality: populist uprisings, economic stagnation, and growing distrust in institutions like the WEF, which many now see as a cabal of out-of-touch elites. The article notes that their pivot to “inclusive capitalism” is a desperate attempt to salvage credibility, but the public isn’t buying it. People are tired of being told that their traditions, borders, and values must be sacrificed for a nebulous “global good.”This backlash isn’t just anecdotal; it’s structural. The globalist push for open borders, free trade absolutism, and supranational governance has yielded diminishing returns. Look at the European Union, once a poster child for globalist integration. Its bureaucratic overreach, from dictating environmental regulations to imposing migration quotas, has fueled resentment across member states. Brexit was the first major domino to fall, followed by rising nationalist movements in countries like Italy, Hungary, and Poland. These nations aren’t rejecting cooperation; they’re rejecting the erasure of their distinct identities.As Capwolf’s analysis points out, globalism’s one-size-fits-all approach ignores cultural and economic diversity, creating friction that’s now boiling over. The article highlights how supply chain disruptions and energy crises—exacerbated by globalist policies prioritizing interdependence over self-sufficiency—have exposed the fragility of their model.Meanwhile, the re-embrace of individualism and nationalism is quietly gaining momentum. This isn’t the cartoonish caricature of flag-waving jingoism that globalists love to mock. It’s a grounded recognition that nations thrive when they prioritize their own citizens, economies, and values.The United States, for instance, has seen a revival of “America First” policies, from tariffs on foreign goods to energy independence initiatives. These moves aren’t about isolationism; they’re about reclaiming agency in a world where globalist institutions have too often dictated terms. Similarly, countries like India and Argentina are doubling down on national interests, from protecting local industries to asserting cultural pride.This shift reflects a broader truth: people want to feel connected to their communities, not subsumed into a faceless global collective.The globalist agenda’s failures are most evident in its economic fallout. The WEF’s obsession with “stakeholder capitalism” has enriched corporations while hollowing out the middle class. ZeroHedge notes that the push for ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) criteria has alienated consumers and investors alike, who see through the performative virtue. Small businesses, the backbone of local economies, have been crushed under the weight of regulations designed to favor multinational conglomerates.Meanwhile, the WEF’s climate mandates, which demand crippling energy transitions, have left nations like Germany and Spain grappling with soaring costs and unreliable grids. Capwolf’s deep dive underscores this, pointing out that globalist policies often prioritize ideological purity over practical outcomes, leaving ordinary people to bear the consequences.This growing disillusionment is a cause for cautious celebration. Societies are rediscovering the value of self-reliance, from local food production and indigenous medicine sources to decentralized governance. The rise of digital platforms has empowered individuals to bypass traditional gatekeepers, whether it’s independent media challenging corporate narratives or small-scale entrepreneurs sidestepping global supply chains.This isn’t a rejection of progress but a reclamation of it—one that honors the individual’s right to shape their own destiny. Nationalism, too, is shedding its stigma. It’s no longer about supremacy but about stewardship: protecting what makes each nation unique, from its history to its economic priorities.But the globalists won’t go quietly. Their rebranding efforts, as both ZeroHedge and Capwolf note, are a sign of desperation, not defeat. They’re doubling down on narratives that paint dissent as backwardness, hoping to shame populations into compliance. But the tide is turning.People are waking up to the reality that globalism, with its promises of equality and prosperity, often delivers neither. Instead, it paves the way for something far darker; something intrinsically wicked: socialism, followed by oligarchic authoritarianism. When power is concentrated in unaccountable institutions like the WEF, it creates a slippery slope where centralized planning morphs into control, and control into tyranny.A world where a handful of elites dictate the terms of existence—economic, cultural, and political—is not a utopia but a dystopia. The rejection of globalism is not just a trend; it’s a necessary course correction to preserve freedom and self-determination for generations to come.Then, when we return, our segment on America’s Third Watch, broadcast nationally from our flagship station WGUL AM860 & FM93.7 in Tampa, Florida.In Closing…And that’s a wrap on today’s episode!We’ve spent some time celebrating the crumbling facade of globalism, from the WEF’s desperate rebranding to the resurgence of individualism and nationalism. We are witnessing societies reclaiming their sovereignty, rejecting the one-size-fits-all dogma that’s left economies fragile and cultures eroded. This shift isn’t just a trend—it’s a rebellion against centralized control.But let’s be clear: globalists will not go quietly into the night, and globalism’s path always leads to socialism, then oligarchic authoritarianism, where elites rule unchecked.Subscribe, share, and stay vigilant and informed—because the future belongs to those who dare to stand apart.Until next time… Get full access to Underground USA at www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe

The United States, a Constitutional Republic forged in the fires of liberty and individual rights, stands as a beacon of omnicultural unity—a nation where people of every background unite under shared values, not divide into petty distinctions of tribe or creed. Yet, a sinister force threatens to tear this noble experiment apart: multicultural tribalism.This ideology, with its insidious emphasis on group identity over individual merit, is a dagger aimed at the heart of our Republic. It fractures our unity, fuels resentment, and opens the door to the creeping poison of Marxism. Make no mistake—multicultural tribalism is not just misguided; it is a dangerous betrayal of everything that makes America exceptional.At its core, multicultural tribalism rejects the “melting pot” ideal that has defined America’s strength. Instead of a nation bound by common principles, it pushes a fractured vision of competing ethnic, racial, gender-based, and cultural factions, each clamoring for supremacy. The 2020 Census revealed that 40% of Americans now identify as non-white, and while diversity itself is no sin, the relentless push to prioritize subgroup loyalty over a shared American identity is tearing us apart.Look at California’s 2023 Reparations Task Force, which demanded $800 billion for historical injustices. This wasn’t a call for justice—it was a declaration of war between racial groups, pitting one against another in a zero-sum struggle that breeds bitterness and division. The Constitution’s promise of equal protection under the law is trampled when policies reward grievance over unity, creating a hierarchy where some groups are deemed more “deserving” than others.Worse still, multicultural tribalism is a Trojan horse for Marxism, that old specter of class warfare dressed in new clothes. By framing society as a battleground of oppressed vs. oppressor, it aligns perfectly with Marxist narratives that thrive on division.Critical race theory (CRT), now infecting schools across 35 states, as reported by the Manhattan Institute in 2021, teaches children to see themselves not as individuals but as avatars of racial power dynamics. This isn’t education—it’s indoctrination, designed to sow discord and resentment.Policies like DEI-based affirmative action and diversity quotas, still pushed despite the Supreme Court’s 2023 ruling against race-based admissions, sacrifice meritocracy for ideological purity. When Asian students are penalized for their success and workers are judged by their skin color rather than their skills, we betray the very principles of fairness that define a free Republic. These policies don’t uplift; they don’t facilitate “equity”—they degrade, fostering inefficiency and fueling anger among those who see their efforts punished for the sake of “false-equity.”Then there’s the moral cowardice of cultural relativism, the idea that all cultural practices are equally valid, no matter how barbaric. This is multicultural tribalism’s rotten fruit, undermining the universal standards of the Constitution.In 2018, a Michigan court’s leniency toward forced female genital mutilation, cloaked in “cultural sensitivity,” exposed the absurdity of this mindset. When we tolerate practices like honor killings, child marriage, or forced female genital mutilation in the name of “respect,” we create parallel legal systems that mock the rule of law. This isn’t inclusion or diversity; it isn’t even tolerance—it’s surrender, a betrayal of the individual rights that America was built to protect.And it doesn’t stop there.On campuses like Columbia and UCLA in 2024, students demanded “safe spaces” to silence dissenting voices, targeting Jewish students and conservative speakers with tribal zeal that would make Shaka Zulu envious. The Foundation for Individual Rights & Expression reported that 66% of college students now support restricting speech—a chilling assault on the free discourse that sustains a republic.The consequences of this ideology are not abstract; they are visceral and devastating.The 2020 riots after George Floyd’s death, though sparked by perceived “real” injustice, descended into tribal chaos, with Minneapolis and Portland burning for months. The Economic Policy Institute pegged the damage at $2 billion, but the true cost was the erosion of civic trust.Politically, tribalism empowers demagogues who exploit group identities to sow division for personal, political, and/or ideological gain. The 2024 election cycle was a circus of candidates pandering to ethnic blocs, turning democracy into a tribal tug-of-war. This mirrors the Marxist playbook, where loyalty to the group overrides loyalty to the nation (or, to draw from George Washington, where loyalty to the faction overrides loyalty to the Republic), leaving us fractured and unable to tackle real challenges like economic decline or border security without descending into identity-driven bickering.We cannot stand idly by as this poison spreads. Multicultural tribalism, with its Marxist underpinnings, threatens to unravel the fabric of our Republic. To save it, we must reject groupthink and recommit to the principles that make America great: individual liberty, meritocracy, and a shared identity rooted in the Constitution. We need policies that uphold equal justice, not group favoritism, and an education system that teaches critical thinking, not ideological conformity.The United States is not a collection of warring tribes—it is a nation of individuals bound by a common dream. To rescue our nation—to preserve our Republic—we must fight with every ounce of our passion to reintroduce that dream to the generations that are being cheated out of it by the temptresses of the toxic-Left, we must confront and vanquish the neo-Marxists before the divisive siren song of multicultural tribalism leads us to ruin.Then, when we return, our segment on America’s Third Watch, broadcast nationally from our flagship station WGUL AM860 & FM93.7 in Tampa, Florida.In Closing…As we close this episode out, remember:The United States thrives as an omni-cultural republic, uniting diverse individuals under shared values of liberty and justice. But multicultural tribalism threatens this unity, dividing us into warring factions and fueling Marxist discord.Unlike omniculturalism, which celebrates individual merit within a common identity, multiculturalism prioritizes group loyalty, eroding our constitutional foundation. From reparations to campus censorship, the consequences are clear: division, resentment, and instability.We must roundly reject the multicultural path and embrace our omnicultural shared American dream. We must all stand for unity, champion individual rights, and recommit to the principles that make our nation strong while sharing this message with generations cheated out of hope for their futures.Until next time… Get full access to Underground USA at www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe

On August 3, 2025, over 50 Texas House Democrats fled the state to block a Republican-led effort to redraw congressional maps during a special legislative session called by Governor Greg Abbott. This dramatic walkout, designed to deny the quorum needed for legislative business, represents a profound betrayal of their constituents, their oaths of office, and the principles of a republican government.By abandoning their posts in Austin, these lawmakers have silenced the voices of their voters, shirked their constitutional responsibilities, invited removal from office, and established a dangerous precedent of mob rule by a small faction. Their actions undermine the very democratic process they claim to defend, raising serious questions about the integrity of representative governance.The Texas House requires a two-thirds quorum—100 of its 150 members—to conduct business. With at least 51 Democrats fleeing to states like Illinois, New York, and Massachusetts, the legislature is paralyzed, halting not only redistricting but also critical measures like disaster relief for the deadly July 2025 floods that claimed over 130 lives.Constituents, particularly in districts like those in the Rio Grande Valley, where redistricting could reshape representation for historically marginalized communities, are left without a voice. Many of these voters elected Democrats to advocate for their interests, yet their representatives have chosen flight over engagement.The argument that this walkout protects democracy by preventing a “Trump gerrymander” falls flat when their absence stifles all legislative action, including nonpartisan issues like flood relief. It also flies in the face of Democrats' past actions when in control to execute their own gerrymandering of districts.As the Republican State Leadership Committee noted, these lawmakers are neglecting their responsibility to their voters, who expect elected officials to show up and work, not flee to avoid votes they might lose. This tactic prioritizes political theater over advocacy, effectively disenfranchising Texans during a pivotal moment and undermining trust in the democratic process.The Texas Constitution grants the governor the authority to call special sessions to address urgent matters, a power Abbott exercised to include redistricting in the current session. By refusing to attend, Democrats are failing to uphold their oath to serve their constituents and respect the constitutional framework. Governor Abbott has called their actions “un-Texan” and an abandonment of their responsibilities, a sentiment echoed by House Speaker Dustin Burrows, who warned of consequences for those who persist in this obstruction.This is not the first time Democrats have employed this tactic; in 2003 and 2021, they fled to block redistricting and voting bills, respectively, but both efforts ultimately failed to stop the legislation. This repeated strategy suggests a pattern of evading responsibility rather than engaging in the hard work of negotiation and compromise inherent to legislative governance. Such behavior disrespects the constitutional system they swore to uphold and sets a precedent for avoiding accountability whenever political stakes are high, weakening the foundation of representative democracy.Governor Abbott and Attorney General Paxton have taken a hardline stance, arguing that the fleeing Democrats have forfeited their seats by abandoning their posts. Abbott has cited a 2021 legal opinion from Paxton, which suggests that a court could declare a lawmaker’s seat vacant for such actions.On August 5, 2025, Abbott escalated this threat by asking the Texas Supreme Court to expel Representative Gene Wu, chair of the House Democratic Caucus, for leading the walkout. Paxton has gone further, requesting the court to declare vacancies for 13 absent Democrats and even seeking enforcement of arrest warrants in Illinois. Texas House rules impose fines of $500 per day for absent lawmakers, and Abbott has suggested that accepting funds to cover these fines could constitute bribery, further justifying legal action.While these measures may seem extreme, they are grounded in the principle that elected officials cannot abandon their roles without consequence. Allowing lawmakers to flee without repercussions would incentivize further disruptions, eroding the stability of the legislative process and potentially encouraging similar tactics in other states.By leveraging their numbers to halt the legislature, this minority of 51 lawmakers is effectively holding the state hostage, prioritizing their political agenda and the will of their political party’s ideology over the will of the broader electorate.Governor Abbott warned that allowing a small fraction of recalcitrant lawmakers to run out the clock could bankrupt the state by necessitating a litany of special sessions, each costing taxpayers millions. This tactic mirrors mob rule, where a determined minority disrupts governance to achieve its ideological and/or political ends, bypassing the deliberative process of a republican system of government.As State Representative James Talarico acknowledged, breaking quorum is an extreme step and a last resort, yet Democrats have chosen it repeatedly, knowing it delays but rarely prevents outcomes. This approach undermines the checks and balances of representative democracy, where debate and voting—not obstruction—are the mechanisms for resolving disputes. The Democrats’ flight risks normalizing such tactics, encouraging other states to follow suit in a redistricting arms race that threatens national electoral stability and the integrity of the democratic process.What would happen if Democrats in the US Congress adopted this strategy? If a significant number of congressional Democrats fled Washington, DC, to break quorum and block legislation? The federal government could grind to a halt, delaying critical actions like budget approvals and national security measures.Unlike Texas, where state law allows for fines and potential expulsion, Congress has fewer mechanisms to compel attendance, potentially prolonging paralysis. Such a move would deepen partisan divides, erode public trust in federal institutions, and invite retaliatory tactics from Republicans, further destabilizing national governance.The precedent set by Texas Democrats, if scaled to the federal level, could plunge the nation into legislative chaos, undermining the republican framework that relies on elected officials engaging in the legislative process, not abandoning it.The Texas Democrats’ decision to flee the state is a multifaceted failure of leadership. By silencing, by disenfranchising their constituents, they abandon those who elected them to advocate for them in Austin.By shirking their constitutional duties, they disrespect the governor’s authority and the legislative process. By inviting removal from office, they risk their own political futures for a temporary delay. Most critically, their actions constitute a form of small faction mob rule, undermining the republican principles that ensure governance by the majority through orderly processes.While they claim to protect democracy, their flight achieves the opposite, eroding trust in institutions and setting a dangerous precedent for future legislative standoffs.In the age of advanced AI, one would think that the drawing of congressional districts would be a task removed from the hands of political opportunists who create congressional districts with gerrymandered patterns that would make any jigsaw puzzle maker envious. But I guess that’s another subject for another day…On August 3, 2025, over 50 Texas House Democrats fled the state to block a Republican-led effort to redraw congressional maps during a special legislative session called by Governor Greg Abbott.

In a nation built on justice and the rule of law, the absence of consequences for political wrongdoing—or any wrongdoing, for that matter—is a betrayal that undermines our Republic’s foundation. When elites orchestrate hoaxes, enable foreign espionage, shield criminal aliens, fund chaos in our streets, or facilitate the trafficking of innocents, they fracture trust, empower enemies, and endanger lives.Without swift, severe punishment, these perpetrators invite anarchy, corruption, and national decline. The consequences of impunity are many: weakened institutions, emboldened adversaries, and a society where the powerful prey on the vulnerable. Accountability must be enforced, or America will crumble under the weight of unpunished treachery.Take, for instance, the Trump-Russia collusion hoax, which stands as a grotesque abuse of power. In this calculated scheme, the Clinton campaign, with complicity from Obama and Biden, fabricated ties between Trump and Russia. They used the discredited Steele Dossier to manipulate the FBI and CIA into spying on Trump’s team, diverting billions in taxpayer dollars, sowing division, and crippling governance.This wasn’t mere partisanship; it was a seditious plot to undermine a duly elected president, branded by some as the “crime of the century.” Failing to prosecute those responsible—no matter how high up the food chain they existed—normalizes deep-state coups, inviting future hoaxes that could topple any leader who challenges the establishment.Equally alarming is the unchecked espionage by China, Iran, and Russia, ravaging US corporations, military systems, and intelligence. Lax policies allowed China to access sensitive military tech for over a decade, exploiting vulnerabilities ignored by leadership. Iran and Russia hacked campaigns and infrastructure, with inadequate deterrence fueling escalating cyber threats. This isn’t just oversight; it’s complicity, enabling billions in economic theft and compromised security.Without holding those accountable who allowed these breaches, America faces diminished innovation, emboldened hackers, and a military outpaced by adversaries, risking economic ruin and strategic defeat.The crisis deepens with sanctuary cities, an unconstitutional affront to sovereignty that shields criminal illegal immigrants while obstructing ICE and diverting taxpayer benefits meant for citizens. Millions, including gangs and smugglers, cross borders unchecked, with sanctuaries refusing detainers for dangerous aliens.This isn’t compassion but enablement, prioritizing lawbreakers over citizens and spiking crime rates. Without consequences, these policies breed lawlessness, inviting terrorism, draining resources, and eroding the value of citizenship, turning America into a magnet for chaos.Compounding the chaos are the toxic-Left’s violent protests in urban centers, bankrolled by deep-pocketed NGOs and foundations. Far-Left extremists like Antifa incite destruction under the guise of justice, with shadowy organizations funding riots that burn cities and assault law enforcement. These aren’t protests but orchestrated campaigns, often tied to anti-capitalist agendas glorifying anarchy. Failing to punish the funders and organizers fosters domestic terrorism, eroding public order, costing billions in damages, and replacing democracy with mob rule.But most disgusting and unforgivable is the trafficking of women and children, a humanitarian catastrophe fueled by porous borders and policy failures.Cartels exploit lax enforcement, smuggling victims into slavery rings that profit billions. Over 525,000 unaccompanied minors have vanished into exploitation, with NGOs complicit in this pipeline. This isn’t migration; it’s modern slavery, condemning innocents to horror. Without punishment, this perpetuates abuse, overwhelms services, and scars society, leaving shattered lives and empowered criminals in its wake.The consequences of unpunished malfeasance—of wrongdoing, be it for personal or political opportunism—are catastrophic: Our nation becomes weakened and ripe for exploitation by enemies foreign and domestic, all while the innocent and the honest pay the price, setting up the next generation to carry a cross they didn’t build.Those responsible must face trials, not token gestures, not bold statements, but indictments and trials. Anything less invites repetition and the temptation of a new normal.Justice demands accountability; without it, corruption thrives, and freedom dies. It’s time to reclaim our Republic through decisive action, before the cost of inaction buries us all.Then, when we return, our segment on America’s Third Watch, broadcast nationally from our flagship station WGUL AM860 & FM93.7 in Tampa, Florida.In Closing…As we wrap up today's episode spotlighting the obvious erosion of accountability in our political landscape, remember: when leaders and the elite evade consequences for corruption, espionage, border negligence, funded unrest, and/or human exploitation, our nation's fabric unravels; trust shatters, enemies thrive, and ordinary citizens bear the brunt.And history shows that justice isn't inevitable—unless it's demanded.By shining a light on these crimes and failures, we help to reclaim our Republic's promise. So, let’s shine that light on them and demand justice!Stay vigilant, question boldly, and support reforms that enforce real repercussions. By doing so, together, we can restore our country to a beacon of light through the darkness.Until next time… Get full access to Underground USA at www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe
