No Surprise: 88% of Students Confess They Pretend to be Left-Wing Just to be Left Alone

Ace of Spades

"It's not a surprise, but I'm glad there's confirmation. We can only roll back this evil once it is acknowledged.

On today's college campuses, students are not maturing -- they're managing. Beneath a facade of progressive slogans and institutional virtue-signaling lies a quiet psychological crisis, driven by the demands of ideological conformity.

Between 2023 and 2025, we conducted 1,452 confidential interviews with undergraduates at Northwestern University and the University of Michigan. We were not studying politics -- we were studying development. Our question was clinical, not political: "What happens to identity formation when belief is replaced by adherence to orthodoxy?"

We asked: Have you ever pretended to hold more progressive views than you truly endorse to succeed socially or academically? An astounding 88 percent said yes.

These students were not cynical, but adaptive. In a campus environment where grades, leadership, and peer belonging often hinge on fluency in performative morality, young adults quickly learn to rehearse what is safe.

The result is not conviction but compliance. And beneath that compliance, something vital is lost.

Late adolescence and early adulthood represent a narrow and non-replicable developmental window. It is during this stage that individuals begin the lifelong work of integrating personal experience with inherited values, forming the foundations of moral reasoning, internal coherence, and emotional resilience.

"Of course, this is the whole point: You can only mold impressionable minds, not older, more mature minds whose beliefs and political leanings are already set.

"Get 'em while they're young, says the Groomer Cult." . . .

Adam Schiff, Facing Criminal Investigation, Forms Legal Defense Fund UPDATED, Thur; 8/21

 


UPDATED: Adam Schiff: Democrat poster boy for lies and leaks
. . . "The whistleblower also claims that his/her concerns about the criminality of such actions were blown off by “unnamed members” of the group that Schiff reportedly assembled:" . . .
Adam Schiff, Facing Criminal Investigation, Forms Legal Defense Fund
 "After failing to convince the Senate to convict Trump, Schiff went on to serve on the one-sided January 6 Committee, which protected then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and again held secret hearings in which witnesses had few due process rights. The committee later destroyed its documents to cover up its work.
Newly declassified FBI reports allege that Schiff and Swalwell knowingly leaked classified information 
. . . "Nevertheless, Schiff and Swalwell are unlikely to face prison for their alleged wrongdoing. That’s because the limitations period for what they allegedly did is five years from the date of discovery. Someone in the DOJ, who must surely have known that leaking classified information to the media does not have constitutional protection, wanted to ensure that these men and their staffers remained free."

On Monday, Just the News broke the news that a Democrat whistleblower told the FBI in 2017 that Adam Schiff okayed leaking classified documents with the intent to harm President Trump.   . . . "This same Democrat whistleblower told the FBI agents from the agency’s St. Louis office again in 2023 that he personally attended a meeting at which Schiff authorized leaking classified information. The FBI brass did nothing. Chris Wray did nothing. The FBI under Chris Wray allowed these criminal acts to take place. Chris Wray has a long record of allowing the bureau to engage in criminal acts under his direction."

UPDATED: Bed, Bath, and Beyond Takes a Shocking Stand and Outright Nukes Gavin Newsom's California

 RedState   

"In a rare move for a major corporation, home furnishing brand Bed, Bath, and Beyond woke up on Wednesday and chose violence. In a scathing statement, the company announced it will not be opening any stores in California, explaining that the state's overregulation and tax structure make it too risky. "


 . . . "All of this was preventable. California is a textbook example of what happens when you give left-wingers total control and let their hubris run wild. Yes, long-standing industries and foundational successes that started long before the Newsom era continue to keep the state afloat, but that won't continue forever. You can, in fact, push things too far, and we've seen examples of that over recent years. For example, In-N-Out Burger, a California staple, is choosing to do its latest expansion in the Republican South, including moving its headquarters. Meanwhile, Newsom is having to get on bended knee and beg oil companies not to abandon his state, and there are a lot more companies in other sectors looking to get out as well, from healthcare to technology. 

"Bed, Bath, and Beyond, and these other companies pulling no punches and making these decisions represents a major shift. Corporations usually tread lightly when it comes to California because they don't want to face repercussions from the vindictive Democrats in charge, but with the cost-to-benefit ratio swinging heavily in favor of just telling the state to pound sand, times are changing. 

"It's sad because California is such a beautiful state with so many great people still living there. There are parts of the state that are a literal paradise, and Democrats have turned them into crime-ridden, overtaxed areas where normal people can't even afford to live because a 50-year-old starter home will cost you a million dollars. It doesn't have to be that way forever, but it will be if voters there don't change course. Unfortunately, things will probably have to get worse before they get better before that happens."  Full article...

Trump predicts the ‘Typhoid Mary of Disinformation’ will soon get the ax at MSNBC

 Am""erican Wire News 

In March, Trump called for Wallace and her conspiracy-mongering lesbian colleague, Rachel Maddow, to be ousted over their ghastly remarks about 13-year-old DJ Daniel, a brain cancer survivor whom he presented with an honorary Secret Service badge and was a guest at his speech to a joint session of Congress."


. . . "Trump’s prediction came as he shared a post depicting the former Bush White House Communications Director as a clown and noting her “Typhoid Mary” nickname with the caption of “Nicole Wallace is afraid of losing her job. Get her a waaambulance.”
"The president was also referring to Wallace being “thrown off” the ABC daytime gabfest, where she had a brief stint as a co-host from 2014-2015, whining that she learned from Variety that she’d been fired.
" 'I loved the job. I had no plans of quitting. I think I thought that I would learn somewhere other than Variety that I’d been fired. It shattered my naivete about television. Listen, it’s all fair. I wasn’t wronged by anybody. But I was surprised to learn in the press about their decision not to bring me back,” she told the showbiz outlet at the time.
"During Friday’s coverage of the Trump-Putin meeting, Wallace took numerous swipes at Trump, at one point seeming to suggest something homosexual about it.
' “There’s a lot of touching,” she said. “I don’t know that we always see him touching Melania as much as he touched Putin today.”
"Trump has previously criticized the “Typhoid Mary of Disinformation” and, in a 2020 post to Twitter, later rebranded as X, he ripped her as a “3rd rate lapdog for Fake News MSDNC” while also bringing up her short career at “The View.”

Hamas Agrees to Ceasefire-Hostage Release Deal With Israel

American Greatness   "Hamas has agreed to a new proposal for a ceasefire-hostage release deal with Israel." . . .

Autopsy finds 6 hostages were shot multiple times at close range in last 48-72 hours |Sep 1, 2024

"The “comprehensive two-stage plan” was based on a framework advanced by US envoy Steve Witkoff and presented to Hamas by Qatari and Egyptian mediators, according to the BBC.

It would see Hamas free around half of the 50 remaining Israeli hostages – 20 of whom are believed to be alive – in two stages during a 60-day temporary truce. During that time, there would be negotiations on a permanent ceasefire and an Israeli troop withdrawal.

"The Egyptian and Qatari mediators reportedly met with Hamas representatives Sunday in Cairo, and presented them with the plan.

"In a post on Facebook Monday, Hamas leader Basem Naim said Hamas and other Palestinian terror groups had agreed to the deal: “The movement has submitted its response 💚 approving the new mediators’ proposal,” Naim wrote in Arabic. “We pray to God to extinguish the fire of this war against our people.”

"The deal was reached ahead of a major Israeli offensive to occupy Gaza City and just hours after President Donald Trump said Hamas needed to be “confronted and destroyed,” Axios noted.

“ 'We will only see the return of the remaining hostages when Hamas is confronted and destroyed!!!,” Trump posted on Truth Social Monday morning. “The sooner this takes place, the better the chances of success will be. Remember, I was the one who negotiated and got hundreds of hostages freed and released into Israel (and America!). I was the one who ended 6 wars, in just 6 months. I was the one who OBLITERATED Iran’s Nuclear facilities. Play to WIN, or don’t play at all!”

"The plan is reportedly “98 percent similar” to the last U.S.-backed proposal, but the deal fell though when Hamas refused to sign on.

Hamas said at the time that it would only free the remaining hostages if Israel agreed to end the 22-month war. But Netanyahu said that would only happen once Hamas was disarmed and released all the hostages.

"On Sunday, more than 200,000 Israelis took to the streets to demand Netanyahu not launch the new offensive in Gaza, and instead sign a deal to bring back the hostages. It was the biggest anti-war protest since the beginning of the war, according to Axios.

"The Gaza War began in response to Hamas’ surprise attack in southern Israel on 7 October 2023. The terrorists killed about 1,200 people—mostly civilians—in the attack, and took another 251 hostage."

Trump’s Secret Weapon Deserves a World Record

The American Spectator; Deroy Murdock/  

"Here, revealed at last, is President Donald J. Trump’s secret weapon: The man has cojones the size of the Las Vegas Sphere."

. . . "Trump does not pick the easy fights. Too many Republicans are happy to cut a tax or two, sign a few proclamations, and call it a day. Why challenge the Left? They might push back. Political fights? Oooh, messy. No, thanks. Let’s be friends.
"This battered-wife approach (“The Left beats me because they love me”) defined such GOP invertebrates as Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, both presidents Bush, and too many governors and state lawmakers to count.
"Unlike these weaklings, Trump does not avoid battles. He dominates them with Gatling guns ablaze. Even more so in his second term, Trump is compiling victories as Democrats fail to foil a Republican who is unburdened by general, unfocused fear.
"Trump’s takeover of Washington, D.C.’s police department is just such an initiative. Most Republicans would lack the courage to confront Democrat Mayor Muriel Bowser. Only Trump would imagine running the DCPD via his Justice Department.
"Trump’s move so floored Bowser that she sounds conciliatory and even hopes that the City Council will ditch D.C.’s sanctuary-city status. This is as close as Democrats get to eating out of Trump’s hand.
" 'Over 160 illegal aliens have been arrested, including known gang members and those with additional charges: assault, kidnapping, burglary, larceny, commercialized sexual offenses, smuggling illegal drugs like heroin, and more,” a White House official told the Daily Caller on Monday. “Last night 22 multi-agency teams were deployed throughout all 7 districts in D.C. There were more than 1,950 participants in last night’s operations.”
"The results already are in.
"According to a Monday morning D.C. Police Union X post, “DC crime since the announcement of federal control versus the 7 days prior:”
Robbery: Down 46%
Assault with a Deadly Weapon: Down 6%
Carjacking: Down 83%
Car Theft: Down 21%
Violent Crime: Down 22%
Property Crime: Down 6%
All Crimes: Down 8%
“Turns out you can just start arresting criminals and scare them out of victimizing innocent people,” Senator Mike Lee (R– Utah) observed via X. “Did the DC Council know that was an option?” . . . More...

On Russia Collusion the Scaffold of Lies Has Fallen

The American Spectator   

"What began as a desperate campaign tactic — Russia! Hacking! Pee tapes! — has now collapsed into the most damaging political hoax in American history."

Toon added by TD

  "There comes a moment in every decaying republic when the lies no longer hold. The slogans fade. The headlines rot. The euphemisms curdle. And those who built the scaffold of deceit find themselves suddenly visible — exposed to a people no longer interested in pretending.

"We have reached that moment.

"What began as a desperate campaign tactic — Russia! Hacking! Pee tapes! — has now collapsed into the most damaging political hoax in American history. It was not just a dirty trick. It was a coordinated operation to reverse the outcome of a presidential election using the organs of the state, the megaphone of the press, and the cowardice of institutions.

"And now the receipts are in.

"Tulsi Gabbard, in her improbable but timely role as Director of National Intelligence, has declassified documents proving that Barack Obama and his senior officials knowingly overrode actual intelligence to invent a narrative of “Russian collusion.” This wasn’t politicization. It was fabrication. The intelligence state was not used to serve the republic — it was used to sabotage it.

Treason in a Tailored Suit

"There is no polite word for what occurred. It was, by the plain definition of the term, treason: an attempt to remove a duly elected president by illegal means. Not with tanks, but with leaks. Not by gunfire, but by talking point. 

"And it worked — for a time. Trump’s presidency was hobbled from the outset. Every decision, every appointment, every foreign engagement was filtered through the manufactured cloud of Russian suspicion. The people who concocted it assumed they would never be found out. That they would leave behind only the stain, not the fingerprints.

"They miscalculated

The House Built on Deceit

"The Russia hoax was never meant to stand alone. When it faltered, it was reinforced — by media hysteria, impeachment theatre, COVID absolutism, mail-in voting, and the moral hallucinations of a culture that began to insist that men could give birth and toddlers could choose their gender.

"It was all scaffolding—designed to obscure, distract, and deny the most basic truths.

"This wasn’t just about removing Trump. It was about removing the possibility of any future president like him: populist, nationalist, untamed, and, most importantly, unapproved. The system would not survive another breach of its illusion of consent.

"So the media became not watchdogs but collaborators. They parroted. They promoted. They punished dissent. And when the lie began to unravel, they pivoted — to Epstein, to January 6, to anything that might move the eye from the exposed gears of the machine.

"But Truth Returns

"And yet the scaffold of lies has fallen. Not with a bang, but a shuddering collapse

IDF prepares for ‘decisive defeat of Hamas’

JNS  

“At the end of the day, we will have to penetrate inside Gaza City, and I think that everyone who stays there will be considered a militant. Otherwise, he would have gone. He knows the threats, he knows that we are coming in with large forces,” Knafo said."


Following the Israeli Security Cabinet’s decision to prepare for a final, large-scale military takeover of Gaza City, the war against Hamas is entering its most decisive phase. The impending operation, which will reportedly involve an estimated 80,000 soldiers, is aimed at dismantling the last major stronghold of the terror organization, which continues to hold 20 living Israeli hostages and the bodies of 30 additional hostages.

Former senior Israeli defense officials have stated in recent days that this high-stakes offensive is a necessary and long-overdue step to achieve the war’s ultimate objectives. They argued that the success of the mission will hinge not just on military force, but on Israel’s ability to project determination and to strategically separate the civilian population from Hamas’s control, thereby forcing the terror group’s collapse as a regime and power broker in Gaza.

Shalom Arbel, a former senior member of the Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet) who served extensively in Gaza, told JNS that Hamas, guided by a long-term jihadist Islamist ideology bent on Israel’s destruction at all costs, operates like a ruthless real estate dealer, constantly making a cost-benefit analysis.

" 'Hamas operates on the basis of its satanic agenda, which is the doctrine of the Muslim Brotherhood,” said Arbel. This ideology views the Land of Israel as Islamic territory that “must be returned to Islam. Now that doesn’t mean that this must be within five years or twenty years. This is a long journey from their view, until ‘redemption.’ It’s an eternal journey.”

“ 'Hamas, in my acquaintance with it, conducts a daily situation assessment and calculation of its steps, and looks for the steps that will most bring it closer to this goal,” Arbel said. “Its goal is to bleed Israel, exhaust its power socially and nationally and militarily,t o cause it economic damage.”


"However, if Hamas “sees that Israel is determined—even if it’s not fully realized, but that Israel is getting close [to seizing all of Gaza]—it will carry out what is called loss minimization and will raise a flag and say, ‘Stop, let’s negotiate.’ It will not want to lose everything,” Arbel assessed." . . . More...

How the Russia Hoax Nearly Started World War III

 I. Introduction In the aftermath of the 2016 U.S. Presidential election. . .  

. . ."a dangerous and unprecedented narrative was born: that Russia had not only interfered in the election, but had installed Donald Trump as a puppet president. This narrative—originating from a Clinton-funded dossier and propagated by partisan officials and media allies—unfolded into a geopolitical accusation with the potential to spark war. This document outlines the timeline, the players, and the parallels to global conflicts past, especially the lead-up to World War I.

II. The Dossier and Its Origins

"The Steele dossier was opposition research paid for by the Clinton campaign via law firm Perkins Coie and Fusion GPS."It contained unverifiable and salacious claims, many sourced from dubious or anonymous figures.The FBI, under Director James Comey, used the dossier to obtain FISA warrants against Trump campaign associates, despite knowing it was uncorroborated.

III. Accusing a Nuclear Superpower

"The narrative evolved from interference to collusion to control—asserting that Vladimir Putin had helped elect Trump. The January 6, 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) claimed Putin favored Trump and interfered to help him win. Evidence now suggests that this ICA was politically pressured and revised after President Obama directed changes in December 2016.

IV. Russia’s Perspective From Russia’s viewpoint: 

"They were accused of conducting an act tantamount to war: subverting a nuclear-armed democracy.Sanctions followed, along with NATO troop movements and international condemnation.They were provoked, humiliated, and cornered, yet did not retaliate militarily.

V. A False Flag of Global Proportions  

"Russia never introduced the Steele dossier. No credible evidence has ever shown coordination between Trump and the Kremlin.The U.S. intelligence community was used as a political weapon, eroding trust domestically and internationally.

VI. Parallels to World War I  

"In 1914, miscommunication, alliances, and accusations spiraled into global war.  A localized assassination became the predicate for mass mobilization and mutual destruction.  In 2016–2017, the U.S. accused a superpower of subverting democracy—without proof—and prepared for diplomatic and economic retaliation. One wrong move by either side could have escalated into armed conflict.

VII. Trump’s Role: De-escalation Amid Smears

"While under constant investigation and media attack, Trump: Avoided new wars
Initiated diplomacy with Russia and North Korea;  Demanded NATO accountability;  Focused on energy independence to weaken Russia’s leverage

VIII. Postmodernism as the Enabler
"Postmodern ideology denies objective truth and treats narratives as tools of power.  This environment allowed a lie to be treated as reality, pushed by media, intelligence figures, and political elites. "The dossier didn’t need to be true—it only needed to be believed."

Former FBI Chief Chris Wray Knew About Adam Schiff Leaking Classified Documents to Press but Did Nothing

John Solomon and Jerry Dunleavy 

 "The staffer told the FBI that it was “suspected that SWALWELL played a role in the leak and noted that SWALWELL previously had been warned to be careful because he had a reputation for leaking classified information.”  


"A career intelligence officer who worked for Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee for more than a decade repeatedly warned the FBI beginning in 2017 that then-Rep. Adam Schiff had approved leaking classified information to smear then-President Donald Trump over the now-debunked Russiagate scandal, according to bombshell FBI memos that Director Kash Patel has turned over to Congress.

"The FBI 302 interview reports obtained by Just the News state the intelligence staffer — a Democrat by party affiliation who described himself as a friend to both Schiff, now a California senator, and former Republican House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes — considered the classified leaking to be "unethical," "illegal," and “treasonous,” but was told not to worry about it because Schiff believed he would be spared prosecution under the Constitution's speech and debate clause.

"No publicly-disclosed opinion from the Attorney General or the Solicitor General can be found making that determination as a matter of law.

"But officials told Just the News that DOJ officials showed little interest in pursuing Schiff when the allegations were brought to them years ago, citing the very same excuse the lawmaker had offered.

"In his most recent interview with the bureau in 2023, the whistleblower, whose name is redacted, told agents from the FBI's St. Louis office that he personally attended a meeting at which Schiff authorized leaking classified information.

" 'When working in this capacity, [redacted staffer's name] was called to an all-staff meeting by SCHIFF," the interview report said. "In this meeting, SCHIFF stated the group would leak classified information which was derogatory to President of the United States DONALD J. TRUMP. SCHIFF stated the information would be used to indict President TRUMP.' ” . . .

Who Has Been Busy Destroying Democracy?

 Victor Davis Hanson  

 'So, it is no surprise that the panicked Democrats bark at the shadows—given that they know their revolutionary, neo-socialist agenda is destroying them." . . .


“Destroying democracy”—the latest theme of the Left—can be defined in many different ways.

"How about attempting to destroy constitutional, ancient, and hallowed institutions simply to suit short-term political gains?
"So, who in 2020, and now once again, has boasted about packing the 156-year-old, nine-justice Supreme Court?
"Who talks frequently about destroying the 187-year-old Senate filibuster—though only when they hold a Senate majority?
"Who wants to bring in an insolvent left-wing Puerto Rico and redefine the 235-year-old District of Columbia—by altering the Constitution—as two new states solely to obtain four additional liberal senators?
"Who is trying to destroy the constitutionally mandated 235-year Electoral College by circumventing it with the surrogate National Popular Vote Interstate Compact?
"Does destroying democracy also entail weaponizing federal bureaucracies, turning them into rogue partisan arms of a president?
"So, who ordered the CIA to concoct bogus charges of “collusion” to  sabotage Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign, the 2016-2017 transition, and the first 22 months of Trump’s first term?

"Who prompted a cabal of “51 former intelligence officials” to lie to the American people on the eve of the last debate of the 2020 election that the FBI-authenticated Hunter Biden laptop was instead the work of a “Russian intelligence operation?”

"Who ordered the FBI to connive and partner with social media conglomerates to censor accurate news deemed unhelpful to the 2020 Biden campaign?
"Who pulled off the greatest presidential coup in history by using surrogates in the shadows to run the cognitively debilitated Biden presidency, then by fiat canceled his reelection effort, and finally anointed as his replacement the new nominee Kamala Harris, who had never won a single primary delegate?
"Who ordered FBI SWAT teams to invade the home of a former president because of a classification dispute over 102 files out of some 13,000 stored there?
"Who tried to remove an ex-president and leader of his party from at least 25 state ballots to deprive millions of Americans of the opportunity to vote for or against him?" . . .Full article here...
