Let’s Be Honest: There WAS Major Miscalculation on Afghanistan. By the Keyboard Commando Mainstream Press.

Since the beginning of the withdrawal of American troops under President Biden, and especially since the fall of Kabul to the swiftly advancing Taliban little more than a week ago, the media backlash to the exit and to President Biden has been swift, unforgiving, and relentless. The wide swath of beltway critics and "chief foreign correspondents" - most of whom cut their teeth in the field by cheerleading the Bush administration's military misadventures presented as 'shock and awe' action theater - has been loudly protesting President Biden for finally being the president with the courage to end a forever war, America's longest no less. Sure, they couch their drumbeat of neocon talking points in the pretense that they are merely criticizing the "logistics" of the withdrawal, not the policy, but that argument is as phony as a three-dollar bill. There are several tells that expose the media's disingenuousness. The beltway press's coverage has ...

There is no such thing as "democratic" socialism. There never has been.

"I'm a democratic socialist," Bernie Sanders tends to correct anyone who refers to him as just a socialist. The idea behind it is that 'democratic' socialists are different from authoritarian socialist and communist regimes and that democratic socialists are predominantly interested in a welfare state with lots of taxes to fund lots of public benefits. Indeed, through his two campaigns for president, every chance he got, Bernie Sanders would talk about being elected through a "political revolution" that would entail voter turnout so massive that the country would be forced to radically change in the blink of an eye. Fantastical as that notion always was - and as much as in practical terms, the higher turnout a state saw, the more likely Bernie Sanders was to lose that state in the Democratic presidential primary - it at least had an aura of democratic legitimacy. But the truth is that revolutionaries have never cared about democracy. Socialists care abou...

The Far Left Grasps at Bigoted, False, Dumb Straws to Cope with Nina Turner's Loss

The brogressive left can't take it. Their most high profile candidate since Bernie Sanders lost a race they had every expectation and early advantage to win, and they are grasping at every possible straw to avoid the inevitable conclusion: the left's ideological dogmatism and confrontational approach against Democrats isn't sitting well with Democratic voters in high-turnout elections. The Turner campaign had expected to win the race - which had tightened after Turner being up by a whopping 35 points margin in June - because even under their own insider estimates, they had expected a voter turnout of around 40,000. Instead, over 75,000 people turned out in the Democratic primary, and now-nominee Shontel Brown beat Turner by a 6-point margin . Since the wild upset, the alt-left has been searching for explanations. That is not to say that they have been searching for the truth. Rather, they have been searching for a narrative that they can settle on that will not offend the c...

Far Left Sloganeering about Defunding the Police Cost Maya Wiley in the New York Primary

It's over. Brooklyn Borough President and former NYPD captain Eric Adams will be the Democratic nominee for Mayor of New York City, and unless a political disaster of gargantuan proportions takes place, will easily defeat Republican Curtis Sliwa in November to become the next mayor of America's largest city. Though he emerged as an early frontrunner in a crowded field, Adams's win was far from assured when the race began. The race had big names and big personalities, and Adams hardly started the election season as talk of the town. Maya Wiley, a civil rights lawyer and former advisor to Mayor DeBlasio, quickly became an early favorite of progressives. Mainstream progressives saw a rising star in Wiley, who, on top of her civil rights work, built up a reputation as a progressive without having to get on the Bernie Sanders bandwagon in 2016 and 2020. Wiley had all the makings of an unabashed progressive champion who could make it all the way to the mayor's office in New ...

In Weak, Empty Threat, "Progressive" Establishment Thirsts for Relevance

A week after their most high-profile primary loss since Bernie Sanders lost his second presidential primary in a row, gatekeeper progressives are trying to get back to their groove by doing something familiar: issue empty threats to derail President Biden's agenda. The leaders of the Congressional Progressive Caucus - Reps. Pramila Jayapal, Ilhan Omar, and Katie Porter - wrote a letter to Speaker Pelosi and sent out a press release that read like a threat from an amateur hostage-taker. The letter, on the occasion of the Senate passing a groundbreaking bipartisan physical infrastructure bill by a 69-30 vote , threatens that the caucus could use its leverage to try to tank the bipartisan legislation, in a bit of a role reversal for people who have generally accused the Senate of being a legislative graveyard for bills the House has cleared. But reading between the lines of this machismo reveals that the caucus likely does not have the votes to make good on its threat. The first par...
