As Democrats celebrate recent election victories, progressives are criticizing party leadership for snubbing them, particularly after New York City Mayor-Elect Zohran Mamdani’s win. At a progressive conference, attendees expressed disdain for Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer, citing his resistance to certain progressive candidates. Speakers emphasized the importance of focusing on affordability and rejecting the opposition’s economic agenda, drawing inspiration from Republicans’ strong support for their candidates. While some Democrats feel frustrated with internal divisions, others like U.S. Senator Ruben Gallego believe the focus should be on whether a candidate fights for and understands voters, rather than on ideological purity.

The Young Republicans’ Leaked Chat Is a Sign of Where We Could Be Headed
The leaked chat of Young Republicans isn’t some crystal ball revealing a potential future; it’s a stark mirror reflecting the present. We’re not talking about a hypothetical scenario, a place we *might* be headed. We’re already there. These individuals, and the ideology they represent, are not outliers; they are, in many ways, the embodiment of a deeply entrenched perspective within the Republican Party, and within a segment of the American population. The “locker room talk” defense feels inadequate, because this isn’t just youthful exuberance. It’s the unfiltered expression of a mindset that is, unfortunately, already shaping our world.… Continue reading
US memo to colleges proposes terms on ideology, foreign enrollment for federal funds, and it’s causing quite a stir, as you might imagine. The whole thing smacks of… well, let’s just say a lot of folks aren’t thrilled. The core of the issue is a proposed set of terms that colleges would have to agree to in order to receive federal funding. These terms reportedly touch on two major areas: the ideological bent of the institutions and the number of foreign students they enroll.
Now, the idea of the government trying to influence the ideological leanings of universities… that’s where things start to get tricky.… Continue reading

To ensure teachers from states like California and New York are not promoting “woke” ideologies, PragerU and the Oklahoma State Department of Education have developed a 34-question assessment. This test covers topics ranging from presidential history and Supreme Court decisions to gender identity. According to State Superintendent Ryan Walters, the assessment aims to protect Oklahoma classrooms from “radical leftist ideology.” Passing the test leads to a PragerU Teacher Certificate, signifying a commitment to traditional values.

Supreme Court approval rating has recently plummeted, hitting an all-time low, and the question on everyone’s mind is: What caused this dramatic shift? Well, it seems the answer, or rather, the multitude of answers, are staring us right in the face. It appears that the public is increasingly seeing the court as a partisan entity, driven by ideology rather than impartial legal principles. When rulings consistently favor one side of the political spectrum, especially when these decisions seem to contradict established precedents or even a straightforward reading of the law, public trust erodes.
The more the court makes what appear to be politically motivated decisions, the more its standing declines, potentially emboldening future administrations to disregard their rulings, and the very fabric of the rule of law begins to unravel.… Continue reading
The recent statement by a conservative influencer advocating for the reinstatement of slavery if the majority in a state desires it has sparked outrage and disgust across social media platforms. The blatant disregard for human rights and the lack of empathy displayed in such a statement is not only shocking but deeply troubling. The nonchalant attitude of “What do I give a shit” in response to the horrors of slavery is a clear reflection of the selfish and morally bankrupt mentality that seems to permeate segments of society.
The notion that taking away someone else’s rights is justifiable as long as it doesn’t directly impact oneself is a dangerous mindset that can lead to grave injustices.… Continue reading
The recent news of the Trump rally gunman, Thomas Crooks, being identified as a staunch conservative by his former classmate raises many questions and concerns. It is intriguing to ponder why someone who was so entrenched in conservative beliefs would resort to attempting to assassinate a conservative candidate like Donald Trump. This incident sheds light on the complexities within the conservative spectrum and challenges the notion that all conservatives are unified in their beliefs and actions.
It is important to note that political ideologies are nuanced and diverse, even within the same party. Classmate Max R. Smith’s recollection of Crooks standing alone on the conservative side during a mock debate highlights the individuality and independence of thought that exists within political affiliations.… Continue reading
I find it humorous, in a rather sad way, that there is still this pervasive idea floating around that the Supreme Court is some beacon of impartiality and justice. The reality is far from that; the Court is deeply entrenched in politics and ideology, just like any other branch of government. To even make it onto the Supreme Court, you need political connections and an ideology that aligns with the president who nominated you. The notion that justices are chosen solely for their judicial acumen is a farce; it all comes down to party ideology and political maneuvering.
The entire process of selecting Supreme Court justices reeks of politics and power plays.… Continue reading
Lara Trump’s recent statement claiming that conservatives are now the counterculture and it is cool to be a conservative is not only laughable but also incredibly out of touch with reality. The idea that embracing conservative values is somehow rebellious or edgy goes against everything that counterculture stands for.
This notion is nothing new, as it seems like every few years, conservatives try to rebrand themselves as the new punk rock. However, the reality is far from it. The conservative ideology is rooted in authoritarianism, not rebellion against the status quo. It is about upholding traditional values and maintaining the existing power structures, which are the opposite of what counterculture movements aim to achieve.… Continue reading
