John Delaney and his ability to be shamelessly and wholeheartedly beholden to private insurance companies have found something new to exploit: the two mass shootings in El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio, both of which happened at the beginning of August just hours apart and left 32 people dead. Delaney was given ample time during the past two Democratic primary debates to lay out his proposals, in which he was laughably seen as the rational moderate, when in reality he was just arguing for the status quo. Apart from arguing against any real or meaningful change, Delaney's most memorable debate moment was when Bernie Sanders rebutted his ridiculous anti-Medicare For All statements with “Well, you’re wrong!” Which drew a large cheer from the crowd. Delaney’s big new idea to end gun violence, which you can see pictured above, is to require “liability insurance” to purchase a gun - an idea which is comical and was mocked in the replies to his tweet. To be fair to John Delaney and...

Andy Ngo, a "journalist" who always manages to be on the scene any time anti-fascist activists are supposedly attacking people or property has been caught red handed lying and spreading misinformation to fit his narrative once again and he is seen by many on the right as the one-stop shop for all your anti-Antifa needs. This past week, Ngo attended a Patriot Prayer rally in Portland, which also included groups such as "American Guard" - American Guard members have attended Klu Klux Klan cross burnings and rallies - and Antifa and other counter protesters, in the hope he would find something that he could twist into his notorious "Antifa are the real bad guys" narrative. And he did.  Guardian reporting  on the topic goes into detail on the bus you can see pictured above - which quite clearly belongs to American Guard given the placard that has been placed in window. Pictured here you can see that the members American Guard are wearing the same shirts...

Kamala Harris and her 2020 Presidential campaign have decided against attending CNN’s “Climate Crisis” town hall in favour of attending fundraisers in Los Angeles, where rich Hollywood folk will bundle money together in order to support her campaign. Activists such as RL Miller of  Climate Hawks Vote  and the Sunrise Movement , among others, were monumental in there even being a Debate/Town Hall on the impending climate crisis to begin with, in which ten of the more than twenty Democratic presidential hopefuls have qualified for. The aforementioned groups felt that as a country and as a planet, the topic of climate change needed much more of a spotlight than a single question at the tail end of other Democratic primary debates. ABC News campaign correspondent Zohreen Shah  reported the news of Kamala Harris' no-show  a couple of days ago and the Harris campaign said that she would not be attending the town hall due to a "scheduling conflict" - which led to a l...

After President Trump and his administration's provocation of Iran led to the shooting down of an unmanned drone near Iran's airspace, several politicians have shown us where they stand on this administration's efforts to force a regime change war in Iran and remove the Ayatollah's from power. There were obviously a vast spectrum of opinions, from war hawks who pretend the drone was merely minding its own business by flying in and around Iran's airspace, do-nothing Democrats whose only problem with Trump attacking Iran being that he must abide by the rules and ask Congress nicely first, to anti-war politicians such as Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren ridiculing Trump's obvious attempts at goading Iran, which he will then use as reason for the American military to invade Iran and take out the Ayatollah's. Elizabeth Warren was recently asked by an attendee during a Florida town hall at Florida International University if she would go to war with Iran ...

Marshae Jones, alleged to have "sparked the altercation" which led to the shooting, has been charged with manslaughter while the shooter has been freed. When women took to the streets in order to protest new draconian abortion laws proposed by several US states, notable conservative pundits insisted that the new laws weren't as bad as many women had feared and that they were just doing their moral duty to protect unborn children, but it’s doubtful Marshae Jones feels the same way. Jones was five months pregnant when she was shot in the stomach during an altercation with another woman and her fetus never survived the shooting. On Wednesday this week (26/06), Ms. Jones was charged with manslaughter in Jefferson County, Alabama after the police claimed that Jones was culpable because she initiated the conflict and " failed to remove herself out of harms way ." " The only true victim in this was the unborn baby. It was the mother of the child who init...

One of the main talking points used against Bernie Sanders and his supporters is that their lack of enthusiasm and support for Hillary Clinton in 2016 directly led to Donald Trump becoming president, with Sanders supporters being labelled as privileged and sexist for not backing Clinton, and yes that includes you misogynistic Jill Stein/Green Party voters! However, our favourite anti-Bernie Democratic loyalist, Sally Albright, now insists that it isn’t pivotal that you support the Democratic nominee in order to defeat Donald Trump, should Sanders win the 2020 Democratic nomination. Albright recently claimed that “ 4 more years of Trump would be better in the long run ” as opposed to a President Bernie Sanders. This comes after the “moderate” wing of the Democratic Party have spent the past three years suggesting that apathetic Sanders supporters are the cause of every terrible Trump decision and we’d be in a utopia if us sexists would have just fell in line behind Clinton. In ...

The United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union has literally dominated the mainstream news cycles for well over three years now. You’ll hear the word “ Brexit” likely within a few minutes of switching on virtually any news show.  The divisions within the country that led to Brexit (opposition to immigration, parliamentary sovereignty/opposition to globalisation) were the main reasons given to polling agencies and survey takers, which in turn led to the flourishing of another division surrounding Brexit: anyone who voted “Leave” is a far-right racist who hates immigrants and has no idea how an economy functions, and are poorer, less educated members of society.  But, with most insane hot takes, it has to go a step further. As you can see pictured above, our friend Laurence here is casually advocating for the genocide of any and all “Leave” voters. Quite how you can propose a genocide of any political dissidents and suggest that you’re morally correct is qu...
