RUTHFULLY YOURS

Going back 250 years, the enemies of America thought long and hard about how to destroy the fledgling experiment of a democratic republic that our Founding Fathers had envisioned.  It was and continues to be clear to them that America’s strength is a function of three phenomena:

A fervent belief in the God Who makes miracles happen, for just one example the crushing defeat of the thunderously powerful English Empire’s armies by blazing patriots like General George Washington and his ragtag army of American heroes.
An equally ardent belief in and passion for the concept of freedom.  Men who knew they were going to die, and their wives who believed their deaths were for the noble cause of freedom, all sacrificed to bring about our victory over the monarchy that wanted to continue to rule us.
The most passionate was the embrace, belief in, and allegiance to family — its sanctity, its strength, its ability to weather all storms and overcome all obstacles.

If they could destroy all three, our enemies reasoned, the masses they considered essentially stupid would be forced to rely exclusively on Big Government.  And so, to this day, the socialists-cum-communists among us are employing — as their predecessors did — every malevolent, criminal, and vicious tactic they can muster to actualize that goal.

Astounding progress

The America-haters among us have already

infiltrated our public schools and contaminated generations of students with anti-American propaganda, as well as explicit pornography and grooming, even in kindergarten!
lured both Christians and Jews to abandon their faiths and to worship the new God of Social Justice.
succeeded in the leftist — and, I believe, traitorous — infiltration of our military and intelligence services like the FBI and CIA…until, that is, the redemptive entrance of President Trump and his secretary of war, Pete Hegseth.
rigged the 2020 presidential election, which political activist Dinesh D’Souza also proved in his explosive film, 2000 Mules.
On and on and on.

Still, the family remains their most desired — yet maddeningly elusive — target.

When socialist Zohran Mamdani won the New York City mayoral primary, we said that the concern expressed by some Democrats was phony, because they didn’t want to admit just how far left their party had drifted.

Now, they’ve given up that pretense entirely.

On Friday, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries endorsed socialist Mamdani, saying the 33-year-old trust fund baby “has relentlessly focused on addressing the affordability crisis and explicitly committed to being a mayor for all New Yorkers.”

He’s the most senior-ranking Democrat to do so, but he joins a list that already includes Sens. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul and New York Attorney General Letitia James

Jeffries tried to add a caveat that he and Mamdani have “areas of principled disagreement.” But he can’t have it both ways.

Jeffries, and his party, are now officially on board with Mamdani’s socialist agenda, one he hopes to impose on a city that once stood for America’s financial might but will soon become the home base for radical anti-Americanism.

Besides, as we pointed out in this space in July (see: “The Democrats’ Phony Freakout About Mamdani”), party regulators were already on board with even Mamdani’s most radical proposals.

Think about what Mamdani has proposed or supported:

A yearlong freeze on rent
A $30 minimum wage
Free bus service
City-owned grocery stores
Defunding the police
Calling Israel’s war in Gaza a genocide.

‘Mainstream Democrats’ support every one of these positions in one way or another.

But now the party has nowhere to hide. Either by silence or outright endorsements of Mamdani, Democrats have let the veil drop. The party of John F. Kennedy is now the party of Karl F. Marx.

One of the most popular and unintentionally hilarious bands in rock’s post-grunge, nu-metal era (the mid-to-late 1990s) was Rage Against the Machine, a Los Angeles-based quartet that was formed in 1991 and became globally famous in 1995 and 1996. The band—fronted by lead singer Zack de la Rocha and renowned guitarist Tom Morello—was popular because it was loud, funky, and nonconformist. It was unintentionally hilarious because it was “nonconformist” in the most conformist ways possible while rebelling against a peaceful and prosperous nation, largely lacking in major conflicts.

The decade of the 1990s, you may recall, was something of a golden era in American history. After a very mild recession in 1992, the economy grew by an average of better than 4% per year over the remainder of the decade. Unemployment fell over the course of those years from 8% to 4%. The stock market boomed, and nearly half of all Americans enjoyed the benefits of that boom, with the expansion of 401(k) plans pushing market participation to record highs. Productivity accelerated rapidly as computers became ubiquitous and the internet blossomed.

Meanwhile, the entire world was at peace. The Soviet Union and its Evil Empire had fallen. The United States stood alone as the world’s hyperpower. Global conflict was so meager that the Clinton administration had to invent conflicts in which to participate, even as the president himself bemoaned the fact that history had denied him the opportunity to be a “great” leader. By the end of the decade, the combination of economic growth and cuts in defense spending enabled the federal government to balance its budget for the first time in three decades.

All seemed right with the world.

But not to Zack de la Rocha and Tom Morello. De la Rocha, the son of a celebrated artist/muralist and a PhD in anthropology, was raised in the heart of beautiful and sunny Orange County, California, at the historic height of the Golden State’s own golden era. Morello, in turn, grew up in leafy Libertyville, Illinois, the son of a schoolteacher and the (admittedly, largely absent) Kenyan ambassador to the United Nations. Morello attended and graduated from Harvard before moving to Los Angeles, where he worked, for a time, as an exotic dancer.
