A new CNN poll says only 29% of Democrats are proud to be American. Bridget Phetasy asked her audience what they love about this country — and got hundreds of responses. The four things that came up most: Free speech, the founding documents, guns, and the freedom to build your own life.
The people who felt it most weren’t born here. They were immigrants, refugees, and World Cup tourists who showed up expecting the country the media described and found something completely different. This is Dumpster Fire’s love letter to America on its 250th birthday.
Why is the death toll so high in Venezuela? Turns out much of the rubble consists of substandard apartment buildings, built by the Socialist Hugo Chavez regime, and underwritten by the Communist Chinese as part of its Belt and Road initiative.
So we’re seeing once again just how cheap and shoddy workmanship under socialist regimes accelerates damages when there’s something like a destructive earthquake.
Let this serve as yet another lesson for the braindead commies — like those young whippersnappers in New York City — pushing Zohran Mamdani and his ugly sidekicks. We doubt they’ll learn — they never do. But still, best the understand root causes. Here’s more from the Liberal Hivemind.
Bridget Phetasy breaks down the U.S. Supreme Court Hecox ruling, upholding states’ rights to ban biological males from competing in women’s sports — and somehow it took nine justices, two lawsuits, and six months to confirm that girls are girls.
Also: Supergirl bombed so hard even the pirates didn’t bother, and Armie Hammer makes a comeback in a role only an aspiring cannibal could pull off. Here’s more in a new edition of Phetasy’s Dumpster Fire.
At first we thought it was just another fire here in Flameytown, but after burning for over a week the real horror has just begun. The massive inferno at a refrigerated warehouse in Los Angeles’ Boyle Heights is now extinguished… and all that remains is some sixty-five MILLION pounds of rotting meat, a small ocean of runoff water and temperatures climbing into the nineties.
Already the surrounding area stinks of death and things are likely to get much, much worse. Here’s a new edition of The Right Angle, with Bill Whittle leading the discussion, joined by Steve Green and Scott Ott.
This video features excerpts from a lecture by Bill Cooper in which he discusses his views on history, symbolism, philosophy, and the relationship between knowledge and power.
The ideas presented are Cooper’s own interpretations and are included in this video for historical documentation, commentary, and educational discussion. Here’s more from Video Advice.
Barbara Boyd discusses three Democratic Socialists of America-backed candidates endorsed by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani winning upset victories in New York congressional primaries, framing the results as part of a long-term cultural project rather than a purely economic platform. She argues the DSA’s internal education centers on communist theorist Antonio Gramsci and his strategy of revolution through cultural “hegemony,” citing a deleted Instagram post from a group tied to one winner that called for the “total eradication of Western Civilization.”
Boyd highlights a newly published DSA platform proposing major constitutional changes, then links Gramsci to the Council on Foreign Relations’ “post-Trump world” series, noting CFR fellow Charles Kupchan opens with a Gramsci quote and attacks reindustrialization and tariffs.
Boyd claims British imperial networks historically sponsored Marx and later Gramsci, using Communism and counterculture against rivals, and urges promoting Trump’s “American System” economics and an optimistic national culture ahead of the midterms. Here’s more from Promethean Updates.
For the first time in history, AI weapons are being deployed in the battlefields of Ukraine that are programmed to kill human beings without other human beings being part of that decision loop.
This is not just another advance in weapons tech. This is a Rubicon to be crossed at our moral peril.
Here’s a new edition of The Right Angle. Steve Green leads the discussion, joined by Scott Ott and Bill Whittle.
The father of Austin Metcalf is being called racist for remarks he made about his son’s killer being a “watermelon felon,” among other things.
Meanwhile, Karmelo Anthony’s parents are also speaking out that they regret hiring white lawyers and were taken aback by the “all white jury.” Let’s watch and react. Here’s more from Amala Ekpunobi.
I – like most of the Internet now – am obsessed with Freddy the German soccer fan. He is road tripping across America and documenting his experiences on X.
This might be more genuinely unifying and patriotic than anything coming out of America250.
It’s a great rebuttal to people who look down their noses at our country and claim we have no culture. Here’s more from Brett Cooper.
