Fight to save this Republic from socialist madness – Latest News
1. On the 250th
by Mike Solana, Editor-in-Chief
It’s been 250 years. 250 years of blood and stone and metal, of the frontier, from California to the moon, of farmland and towers and Hollywood. Of trains and planes and baseball. Of gold. Of silicon. Of the Ivy League. It’s been 250 years of conflict for freedom and for peace, and of fireworks on the Fourth of July. We constructed the best nation in historical past: an optimistic, idealistic empire of liberty, and abundance. But our Founders all the time stated it was an experiment, and currently — all of us really feel it — the vibes are off. The United States as initially framed, instantiated in ideas of freedom, which got here with a obligation to, , improve issues, is basically vanished, as half the nation pushes for socialism and the opposite half sleepwalks by the Trump years considering we solved all our issues with nation music and giant American flags. Meanwhile, a third of the nation simply obtained right here, tens of tens of millions of whom show no curiosity in truly turning into American. State capability is paralyzed in nearly each national metro, and the industry holding our whole economic system on its back is beneath menace from an more and more bipartisan conflict on innovation. We have a lot to have a good time, but in addition a lot of work forward of us. Franklin stated we had a Republic, if we might keep it. So benefit from the weekend, and relaxation up. But bear in mind of the place we’re, centuries later, precisely the place we began. We battle for this, or we lose every little thing.

2. The US is actually libbing out
by Blake Dodge
Last Tuesday, all three democratic socialist candidates backed by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani received their primaries in congressional races, together with two upset victories over incumbent Democrats. [And another won this Tuesday in Colorado.] Their stances embody abolishing ICE, supporting “gender-affirming” surgical procedures with taxes, and liberating Palestine, clearly. Speculators had been fast to say that the institution Democratic Party is mainly over, with NYC, Seattle, D.C., and presumably LA all “falling” to libs who’re both DSA-passing or explicitly precise socialists. And uh, we have a tendency to agree with speculators. It would’ve been cool if Dems went the “abundance” route and labored hand-in-hand with tech firms to leverage tax income from information facilities towards parks, libraries, and jobs for the poor — as an alternative, they’re going the route of the “rabid Seattle baristas,” who’re even more concerned with bombing the information facilities than liberating Palestine, which is saying a lot. Buckle up, people. There’s about 250 causes this nation is about to get even weirder and more dramatic.
3. Inferno in Los Angeles (should be Tuesday)
by Riley Nork
Last week, massive swaths of japanese Los Angeles had been blanketed in poisonous smoke thanks to a fire at a warehouse in Boyle Heights, with the town authorities persevering with to reveal a degree of fire preparedness that will rival rubbing alcohol. Unlike the Palisades catastrophe, nonetheless, no less than Mayor Karen Bass was on the town this time prepared to spring to motion and JUST KIDDING! As flames started engulfing her metropolis (again), Bass was in Chicago paying a pilgrimage to Obama’s brutalist presidential library. But hey, no less than she isn’t making excuses this time and JUST KIDDING! Bass claimed the true situation right here is that too many warehouses are “concentrated in black and brown communities” (??). Oh effectively. If solely Los Angeles had a mayoral candidate this 12 months who needed to improve the town’s fire response… (Dear DSA: hope poll harvesting the homeless was value it when all of LA has the air high quality of Manhattan circa September 2001).
