FROM AN OREGONIAN, JOHN: "If the prisons are emptied, we will all find out what life in prison is like. Former prisoners will rule because they know how to survive inside. The rest of us will either figure it out or perish. All the DSA policies are based on fundamental misunderstandings of human nature, and this one has to be among the dumbest things I've ever read. I suggest that anyone who believes in decarceration spend a month or two in prison and decide whether that is really how they would like to live."

I saw some former prisoners make predictions about Karmelo Anthony's fate in prison. One predicted that the baddest ass prisoner would be demanding monthly payments from all the crowd funding money that his family raised, The fact that they already spent the money on houses and cars would not matter,

Thanks, Diane.I remember comedian Richard Pryor visited a prison, and bemoaned "all the black brothers in prison". After he returned home from the visit, he said."Thank God there are prisons!".

The danger is not that 100,000 DSA members can overthrow America by themselves. They cannot. The danger is that frightened Democrat insiders, activist judges, captured universities, union machines, donor networks, and media allies may hold the door open. Radical movements rarely win because they are numerous. They win because institutions surrender first. That is why Americans must take the platform seriously. Abolishing police, prisons, borders, constitutional checks, and election safeguards is not compassion. It is power politics dressed as liberation. The answer is not panic. It is exposure, turnout, clean elections, civic courage, and refusing to normalize the anti-constitutional left.

Richard, nothing opitomizes this more than the Covid response. And that response lingers on to the day. Is it possible the covidians are all STILL useful idiots after having been taken in by that sham? Stupid is as stupid does!

From the 1950s to 1980s, shortwave radio boomed Cold War communist propaganda around the world from Radio Moscow, Radio Berlin (East Germany), Radio Peking (China) and Radio Havana (Cuba). It was an education in how to sniff out communist propaganda, a task made more difficult by today’s internet and social media platforms.

To counter this onslaught of Cold War communist disinformation, the United States broadcast the Voice of America and Radio Free Europe to thwart the storm of communist indoctrination.

Despite our government’s formal rejection and opposition to communism demonstrated in the blood and treasure our nation sacrificed in the Korean and Vietnam Wars, Democrat policies continued their leftward drift, attracting progressives who successfully wormed their way into the legacy mainstream media and federal government agencies and institutions.

Today the Democrats’ Long March leftward has blossomed publicly, revealing to our nation the party’s political successes in electing communist mayors and mid-term election candidates in the nation’s major Democrat controlled states and metropolitan areas.

Empty promises of “free stuff” for everyone has attracted disaffected youth and graduates with useless college degrees that’s burdened them with poor job prospects and unmanageable debt.

The party’s aging leaders, devoid of fresh ideas, cogent policies and American ideals that would lift all ships, refuse to oppose their communist candidates, fearing that doing so would cost them their tenuous grip on party power and control.

By endorsing their national slate of un-American candidates, which includes communists, Nazis, anti-Semites, terrorists, misogynists, gender dysphoria sympathizers and other misfits who have forsaken the American Dream, Democrat leaders have failed their party’s traditional supporters.

An American political party claiming it has a big tent that welcomes anti-American communists who oppose capitalism, law and order and prisons, but supports open borders, deserves to learn a bitter lesson on November 3.
