Maybe the people who can't afford to live here anymore don't want to "keep the country the way it is"? Did it ever occur to any of you to ask why these candidates are getting traction now? Similar to the Socialist candidates in the early 1900s? I mean it's not that hard people. If you screw over enough American's, allow income inequality to reach all time highs, and gaslight people about it, they tend to rebel at some point. Socialist candidates received almost 1 million votes for president in the 1912/1920 presidential elections, by the 1940s it had dropped to 150K votes, and then to only 60K votes by the 1950s.

Try doing something about the oligarchs here, the vast income inequality, the outrageous cost of housing, the loss of good paying jobs, corporate monopolies, etc...Instead of complaining about candidates that were duly elected by the people. Maybe tax cuts for the rich, endless corporate campaign contributions, and free trade wasn't the answer. Remember that you may have a lot to loose financially, but the people on the bottom don't. Pass it on.

That was your choice. I didn't watch it all, either, but we should have a choice. Networks refusing to air gives people no option.

In America, you are free to start your own media company and air whatever speeches you choose to.

Brent by your logic Teddy Rosevelt and Benjamin Harrison were Marxists too.

Lol. It’s always been tough to get ahead and it’s tougher if you’re stupid. Ever hear of the Civil War? Sodbusters, the Great Depression, the Dirty Thirties, WWI, WWII, Viet Nam, the 70s Oil Crisis, etc…? Give me a break! Nobody cares, work harder!! Socialist whiners and slackers go straight to h€[]!!

The Federal Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit has found New Jersey’s “assault weapon” ban unconstitutional. They also knocked down the ban on magazine capacity of more than ten rounds and semi-automatic weapons in general. Finally some court with a backbone did what was needed for a long time.

You have correctly described how the Socialists have always sold their lies. Wealth “inequality”, fairness. And so on and so forth.

The sheep that get fooled by these experts in psychological manipulation. The sheep actually believe the wolves every time. That the wolf has the sheep’s best interest in mind.

The wolves want power and to destroy freedom. Clear and simple.

The sheep end up in bread lines, eating their pets (if the wolves still allow pets). While the wolves always tend to be living a lavish lifestyle on the backs of the sheep.

Please remind where Socialism and Communism has not done those exact things. Anywhere, Any time, it’s worked.

Teddy Rosevelt was very socially liberal. And got more and more liberal as he aged. But was not a Marxist

Last night Ukrainian forces struck the massive Wildberies distribution center near Moscow. Wildberries is Russia's largest online marketplace - similar to Amazon. The distribution center also has become critical to the flow of consumer goods to many retail outlets since sanctions were put in place bottlenecking conventional retail supply chains. Numerous small businesses will likely collapse in the aftermath.

From a military perspective, the distribution center had become a key hub in the acquisition and distribution of dual-use Western tech such as microchips and drone technology/components as they were blended into millions of commercial shipments.

The attack, along with nation-wide fuel shortages, represent a very visible indicator to the Russian population that the Special Military Operation is beginning to intrude on their lives as well as the destitute regional ethnic minorities that have born the preponderance of the burden for the war.

Obama and Biden both withheld approval and weapons for Ukraine to strike deep with Russia.

The only reason Biden changed direction and approved deeper strikes. (Two months before Trumps inauguration) was to screw the Trump regime. He thought this would entangle Trump in a protracted war.

Obama, then the 4 yrs of Biden clearly demonstrated they didn’t care to help Ukraine fully. Only when the politics benefited the Democrats did Biden loosen the reins on Ukraine.

Again, I believe several agencies have had all 3 presidents ear. And suggested they let them both slug it out as long as possible.

That's true, and it also applies to private social media.
As an example, if I owned this website, I would send you packing......along with your troll brothers, RLD, and Ontario Hunter.....and a few others for good measure.
Give you the same treatment that Trump received, and see how you like it.
I'm sure you would all be crying about how unfair it is that your speech was banned from a media platform.

I’d say the only time things happen politically is when this is the case

Ever heard of the progressive era? Various anti-trust legislation like the Sherman, Clayton, or FTC Act? What about organized labor, collective bargaining, and child labor laws. The SEC and the Federal Reserve? The Square Deal, or perhaps the New Deal? Perhaps the free school through high-school movement? Woman's suffrage? Taxing the rich?...Give me a break.

I'm sure these things didn't contribute to anyone's success right? (Sarcasm for those of you who are confused).

All you did was just name a whole bunch of wars. Can't you stay on topic for even one post?

Canada isn't to blame for this no more than the folks in Texas are to blame for not managing their flash floods. We are ALL to blame. We are ALL causing climate change.

Well, someone thinks otherwise.

Trump threatens Canada with tariffs over wildfire smoke: 'Unacceptable!' — USA TODAY

President Donald Trump is threatening to charge tariffs to Canada over record levels of hazardous air drifting into the U.S. from hundreds of wildfires burning in the north.

The sheep actually believe the wolves every time. That the wolf has the sheep’s best interest in mind.

Yeah, like when a 80 year old billionaire condo developer who craps on a golden toilet who has exploited workers his whole life fools gullible rubes into thinking that he actually cares about the American worker? Kinda like that?

..."The sheep end up in bread lines, eating their pets. While the wolves always tend to be living a lavish lifestyle on the backs of the sheep."

Kinda like what happened during the Republican administration of Herbert Hoover that led to the Great Depression? When the Gilded Age Robber Barons were still living in their mansions? And bread lines were everywhere? Bodies in the streets? Kinda like that? Time for you to go read some more Pravda...oops, I mean the Fox "News" Entertainment channel.

"Socialism is the answer if the dream stays out of reach"...Looks like Vice President JD Vance agrees with me...sorry boys better luck next time. I accept your surrender on the topic.

"...So does the socialism thing scare me? Yes. Is it the wrong solution? Yes. But one thing I try to persuade my fellow Republicans of is socialism is the alternative if we don’t have a pathway to give people a sense that the system is not rigged and that the American dream is attainable. That’s our job. That’s what we have to do.

I’m not saying Rome was built in a day. It’s not going to be easy to undo some of these economic trends. But man, we ran the experiment. We ran the experiment of offshoring all of our industrial jobs, of becoming a services and finance economy. And allowing Wall Street to come in and buy every asset of modern life and turn it into an investable line-goes-up asset. And what has that done? It’s created a generation of kids who kind of are attracted to socialism. You have to fix that problem..."

Wrong, the Federal Reserve was responsible for the Great Depression, not Hoover. The Fed refused to provide liquidity and the market collapsed.

And by the way FDR’s New Deal, did not get the USA out of the Great Depression, WW II, did.

You're talking about someone who obviously does not have the capacity to think. Trump demonstrates it on a daily basis. How long do you think it would take the courts to revoke his smoke tariff? Almost as ridiculous as his threatening Norway with tariffs because the Nobel Committee didn't give him a peace prize. I see the US govt has finally started repaying the billions extracted from his first round of Supreme Court rejected tariffs. Couldn't come at a worse time with fuel prices ballooning and military spending for the Iran unending booby fest piling up govt expenditure. He's certainly done a great job chopping the national debt.

You are just one more example of typical Republican cancel culture.

We on the Right shouldn’t be in the censorship business. Just because Big Easy is in the minority here ( and wrong on many topics ) on AH doesn’t mean he should be attacked personally. Or banned.

We can engage or disengage. But do it with civility and with a winning argument.

There is no finally to the refunds. That process has been moving very quickly and almost all non liquidated tariffs have been refunded. Liquidated entries are now being processed.
