Communists

There’s a socialist wave in Latin America. Mexico, Chile, Peru, Bolivia and Brazil recently elected leftists. These politicians at least distance themselves from thugs like Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro, but all propose socialism-lite policies giving government more control over more people. Why don’t people in Latin America learn from the mistakes of the past? Gloria Alvarez, a social media…

While the military is focused on foreign objects flying over American and Canadian territory, a more disturbing threat to our national security is occurring on the ground. Federal, state and local governments are behind in their response to the acquisition of American land by people and companies associated with the Chinese government.

WASHINGTON -- I am engaged in reading a very fine book by my colleague, Paul Kengor. It was written six years ago, so do not feel bad if you missed it. You still have time. It is called “A Pope and a President.” It covers the lives of John Paul II and Ronald Reagan, and, as its coverage is chronological, I just read its treatment of the assassination of President John Kennedy. This will be the…

In the immediate wake of the world learning that former Soviet dictator Mikhail Gorbachev was finally acting like a good communist, CNN’s immediate reaction was to air glowing eulogies for a man who led one of the most evil empires in human history. In back-to-back hours on Tuesday, CNN showed “intense sadness” and took part in revisionist history claiming Gorbachev was the one responsible for…

With the breaking news that former Soviet dictator Mikhail Gorbachev was finally being a good communist on Tuesday, the broadcast networks collectively mourned for the man who violently cracked down on peaceful demonstrations in Lithuania and Latvia. Both CBS Evening News and NBC Nightly News took part in dangerous revisionist history as they “credited” Gorbachev with “…

In an editorial for this week’s print edition, the Washington Examiner editorial board remarked on the opening of the Victims of Communism Memorial in Washington D.C. and how it’s a reminder that this “deadly plague” is something that must be continually taught from generation to generation.

President Biden’s speech from Warsaw Saturday night, reminded me of two previous presidents who delivered speeches confronting the autocracy that was then the Soviet Union and is now Russia, led by Vladimir Putin, a man Biden has rightly called a war criminal. On June 26, 1963, Kennedy spoke before the Berlin Wall which the Soviets had erected to stem the flow of Berliners out of the communist…

This week, the reliably pro-communist New York Times found itself in more hot water after it published a Sunday column from an official with a Chinese Communist Party outfit without proper disclosure as well as failing to note that said author appeared last year with longtime columnist and pro-China defender Thomas Friedman at an event for a think tank tied to Chinese state-run media…

As the crisis in Ukraine escalates, threatening Europe and the world, journalists and media outlets have rightly and consistently highlighted the cruel aggression of former KGB agent Vladimir Putin. However, the same outlets that now showcase the horror of an attempted restoration of the Soviet Union gushed about its glory days as the USSR collapsed

Politico, apparently tired of being mocked for overusing "Republicans pounced" have found a new replacement word: "pile."

Oh, for the good old days of the Soviet Union. America’s foreign policy and goals were clear then: containment and opposition to communist expansion. Nuclear weapons were a deterrent, but neither side believed the other would use them. Russian President Vladimir Putin has changed the game by threatening to use nukes should the U.S. directly confront his forces now raping Ukraine and committing…

On Friday night, MSNBC’s ReidOut host Joy Reid injected more venom into our body politic, declaring parents speaking out at school board meetings to be “bankrolled by conservative organizations...controlling the puppet strings” and that they, along with Republicans, are akin to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), Nazis, Pol Pot, and Soviet Union due to their opposition to books seen as…

On Friday, senator stolen valor a.k.a. Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal (CT) apologized and pleaded ignorance when it was exposed that he attended an event affiliated with the Communist Party USA the previous weekend. The entire story came and went last week…

The New York Times willfully suffered on Thursday what could only be referred to as its “austere religious scholar” moment (as a callback to The Washington Post’s obituary of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi) as it touted the retirement of the editor in chief for the Chinese Communist Party mouthpiece the Global Times, trumpeting Hu Xijin as having helmed “some have called…
