Can Americans enjoy America 250 without Democrats’ nonsense?:

  Joe Concha

"Washington Examiner columnist Joe Concha said the public should be able to enjoy America 250 without added "nonsense" from the Left, such as late-night comedian Jimmy Fallon.

"Concha reacted to a clip of Fallon bashing the Great American State Fair, comparing the foods to what showed up in President Donald Trump's colonoscopy.

“The fair has everything, there's even a dunk tank with JD Vance and a drunk tank with Kash Patel,” Fallon said on NBC’s The Tonight Show on Wednesday.

“'At least be funny,” Concha said on Fox News’s Hannity Thursday.

"The fair is a 16-day event that ends on July 10. It’s complete with an exhibition on each U.S. state, a Ferris wheel, a rodeo, and food on the National Mall.

"Concha criticized Fallon for his comments about the FBI director's “drunk tank.”

Fallon “is the last person that should be talking about ‘drunk tanks’ considering multiple reports, including sources close to the show, that say Jimmy Fallon isn't exactly the poster child for sobriety," Concha said. "So maybe a topic he should probably stay away from.” 

AMERICA'S 250TH BECOMES THE LATEST FRONT IN COUNTRY'S POLITICAL DIVIDE

"Concha said Americans should focus on celebrating the anniversary of the United States without rhetoric from figures like Fallon tainting it. 

“'Can we just enjoy 250 without everybody else just being miserable about it or making jokes about it? It's the best time in the world right now, we got the World Cup, we got 250, UFC fights at the White House, can we just enjoy it without this nonsense?” . . . More...

California threatens to fine farmers after destroying their fields

 Zachary Faria, Washington Examiner    

"Levying fines on farmers because their fields are both unusable and too expensive to clear, thanks to the state’s own destructive policies, is yet another slap in the face to an industry being forced to operate under the duress of the California Democratic Party."

"California has a habit of regulating residents into the dirt and then punishing them for being in the dirt. No one is forced to take it on the chin more than the state’s farmers.

"A new California law permits agricultural commissioners to hand out fines of $1,000 per acre for vineyards or orchards that are considered to be a “nuisance.” As the logic goes, those abandoned fields become hosts for disease and house pests that antagonize surrounding crops or communities.

TRUMP REVIVES CALIFORNIA’S WATER WARS BETWEEN FARMS AND FISH

"Of course, the reason these fields are being abandoned is that farmers don’t have enough water to maintain them. California refuses to send water from the north (the state would rather use that water to protect insignificant dying fish species religiously) or build appropriate water storage facilities (because California is incapable of building just about anything). That had led farmers to over-rely on groundwater to keep their operations afloat. Then, California naturally began heavily regulating groundwater use as well.

"The result is that farms are being suffocated by a lack of water. Many farmers up and down the state are doing such things as tearing out entire orchards as they try to divvy up their limited water resources. But removing orchards can also cost thousands of dollars, and the state has regulated out of existence easier methods (such as open burning) of handling this issue.

"In other words, the state is going to fine farmers thousands of dollars for not uprooting trees that they can’t afford to pay thousands of dollars to remove in the first place. Heads, you lose. Tails, you lose.

THE FALL OF AMERICAN FARMING: LOOMING BUT NOT INEVITABLE

"There is no bigger juxtaposition between importance and treatment than that of California’s farmers. According to the California government, California agriculture is a $49 billion industry that produces at least $100 billion in related economic activity. According to researchers from the University of California Agriculture and Natural Resources, California agriculture and related industries produced over $310 billion in sales in 2024 and were responsible for more than 1.2 million jobs." . . . More...

California's War Over Water Has Farmer Fighting Farmer : The Salt : NPR

. . . "So you have farmers, big and small, fighting over what little water is left in this state. The only thing that everyone agrees on is that California's current water system is broken. It was built to support about half as many people and farms as exist today. Whether major changes to that infrastructure happen could depend on how much longer this drought lasts." . . .

Mamdani's Warmth of Collectivism; Communism’s deadliest failure wasn’t the gulags

They promise Heaven but deliver hell

Henry Stewart History     "This video shows how communist regimes killed on a massive scale, with famine causing the greatest loss of life. It traces the collapse from forced collectivization in Soviet Russia to Mao’s Great Leap Forward in China, where state control over food turned shortages into catastrophe. Labor camps, purges, and mass killings added millions more deaths. The result was one of history’s deadliest political experiments, with consequences that reshaped entire countries.   Watch

Why Communism Always Fails    "In this thought-provoking video, we delve into the reasons why communism always fails, exploring the dark realities of state control, authoritarian regimes, and the devastating consequences of forced collectivization and industrialization. We examine the totalitarian regimes of the Soviet Union and other communist states, highlighting the political oppression, economic oppression, and repressive governance that have led to the downfall of these systems. Through a critical analysis of the Great Purge under Stalin and the Great Leap Forward, we reveal the inherent flaws in authoritarian economics and the liberty struggle that has characterized the communist tyranny throughout history. Join us in this in-depth exploration of the communist ideology and its inevitable demise."

"Why do some supermarket shelves go empty while others stay full? The answer is prices. This video explains the importance of prices in the economy, why prices are signals, and how capitalism vs communism creates two very different outcomes. "You will learn:

• Why prices are the foundation of economic coordination
• What happens when governments distort or eliminate prices
• The truth behind empty shelves in socialist economies
• The real difference between communism and capitalism
• How price controls always fail

Why Hasn't “Real Communism” Ever Been Tried?

The Real Reason Communism Always Fails (Even in Theory)

I doubt the DSA politicians in blue cities understand this, nor the youthful voices cheering and chanting in the streets when Mamdani and his yokefellows promote this very same "warmth of collectivism". TD

Democratic Socialists don’t need to pretend anymore; UPDATED

 "Barack Obama really got the ball rolling, and the party is squarely theirs now."

Susan Quinn - American Thinker

"Anyone who denies that the Democratic Socialists are on a political roll are either foolish or naïve. All over the country socialists are gaining ground, and it’s not clear whether the Republicans are taking their progress seriously or not. It’s important to remember that this ideology was given new life with Barack Obama, even though he hid his allegiances to socialism. When Obama first ran for the presidency, Stanley Kurtz warned us of his commitments:

A personable figure, a thoughtful politician, and an inspiring orator, Obama has hidden his core political beliefs from the American people—sometimes by directly misrepresenting his past and sometimes by omitting or parceling out damaging information to disguise its real importance. The president presents himself as a post-ideological pragmatist, yet his current policies grow directly from the nexus of socialist associates and theories that has shaped him throughout his adult life.

Since entry onto the national stage, Obama pursued a “stealth socialism” strategy, which continued after he left office. This entailed presenting himself as a mainstream candidate, and after he was elected, a subtle promotion of socialist rhetoric:

Obama’s true convictions would occasionally surface spontaneously, most notably when he spoke of ‘spreading the wealth around,’ proposed a ‘civilian national security force,’ and declared ‘we are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America.’

Once in office, Obama threw his voters under to [sic] bus to pursue his socialist agenda that no one voted for.

Obama’s stealth agenda was successful, and now we have candidates all over the country who openly own their democratic socialist positions." . . .More . . .

UPDATE: Socialist candidates promote system that has 'chronically failed everywhere': Guy Benson . . . “Not only do these people want to try to impose an ideology and an economic system that has chronically failed everywhere that it has been tried,” Benson said, but “they are doing so while espousing, at best, disdain if not open contempt for the United States of America.”

Mamdani has been dubbed a “kingmaker” by political pundits for endorsing fellow progressive candidates who won their primaries on Tuesday night in New York.

"Benson warned socialist candidates that their “open contempt” for the country might not be a winning strategy nationwide.

 '“If they think that’s going to fly for them electorally, good luck to them,” Benson said. “And if they’re right about that, good luck to us.” . . .

The third-worldification of the Democratic Party

 Washington Examiner   

"Voters should stop pretending this is just another progressive factional fight. The Democratic Party’s new socialist wing is not merely hostile to capitalism — it is increasingly hostile to America itself. If Democrats will not confront this Third World radicalism, voters must. The hour is later than they think."

"Democratic Party candidates who support socialized medicine, rent control, and wealth taxes winning primary elections are, unfortunately, no longer breaking news. After all, the Democratic Socialists of America already control New York, Chicago, and Seattle and are poised to win Los Angeles and Washington, too.

"What is new, however, is the slate of anti-American, pro-Islamic terrorism candidates who swept the June 23 Democratic Party primaries thanks to the endorsement of socialist Muslim immigrant New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani. This new crop of Islamic socialist Democrats represents the Third-Worldification of the Democratic Party and should motivate the Republican Party to get its general election act together.

"In New York’s 13th Congressional District, professional activist Darializa Avila Chevalier defeated the Congressional Hispanic Caucus chairman, five-term Rep. Adriano Espaillat (D-NY), on a platform of abolishing ICE, defunding the police, and ending all aid to Israel. Raised in Florida by Dominican immigrants, Chevalier has never had a job outside higher education, where she has been protesting and pursuing degrees since 2012.

When Islamists meet Israelis

"In that time, Chevalier helped found the Columbia University Apartheid and Divest coalition, a group whose stated purpose includes “the total eradication of Western civilization.” She has criticized both black and Arab men for “fetishizing ugly colonizer women,” by which she means white women. And she has called “all deportation wrong,” adding, “A world without borders — just like a world without prisons or police — is possible, necessary, and the only moral way forward.” . . . More...

NYC’s black-red alliance of Islamism and ultra-leftism wants us to hate Israel and America   . . . "All three candidates made ending American support for Israel a centerpiece of their campaigns. All three used the “genocide” libel against the Jewish state. Chevalier has doubled down on the support she voiced for Hamas the day after the terrorist group led the attack against Israel on Oct. 7.

"For his part, Mamdani referred last week to the pro-Israel lobby group AIPAC and its supporters as “monsters,” channeling the key antisemitic conspiracy theory that accuses the Jews of controlling America in the pursuit of diabolical goals.

"The ultra-conservative Islamists and the ultra-progressive leftists are united in two main things that drive them: their desire to end America and the west, and their deranged loathing of Israel and the Jewish people." . . .
