A Copper Mine in Arizona, “Resolution,” was just delayed by a Radical Left Court for two months — 3,800 Jobs are affected, and our Country, quite simply, needs Copper — AND NOW! They are looking to do an Expedited Appeal before the Ninth Circuit, but it is so sad that Radical Left Activists can do this, and affect the lives of so many people. Those that fought it are Anti-American, and representing other Copper competitive Countries. We can’t continue to allow this to happen to the U.S.A.! The Appeal will take place, shortly, in the Ninth Circuit.

Chris Cuomo declares the Democrat Party is DEAD 💀

Cuomo tells me elitism, open borders, socialism and defund the police killed the modern Democrat Party.

Cuomo says the Democratic Party that his father was apart of “no longer exists” and he “doesn’t know why” his brother still registers as a Democrat.

“My brother’s a Democrat. I don’t know why, but he is. My father was a Democrat. But his party doesn’t exist anymore.”

“Now it’s the left arguing for a cultural elite. This is how you will talk about people, Benny. This is how you will raise your kids. This is what you will tell them is okay. This is what you will say and not say.”

“There are socialistic aspects to our constitutional republic within a capitalistic model that work. They work for the collective. But it’s a capitalistic society. No Democrat ever argued for anything else. No Democrat would have argued for open borders. None of this. My father would have done none of this.”

“And while I had disagreements with my father about different issues, I knew what principles were guiding him.”

Wow. Well said Chris Cuomo.

Last month, astronomers made an exciting discovery, observing an interstellar object — only the third ever observed — hurtling toward the center of the solar system.

The object, dubbed 3I/ATLAS, has caught the attention of Harvard astronomer Avi Loeb, who has a long track record of making controversial predictions about previous interstellar objects being relics from an extraterrestrial civilization.

While there’s been a growing consensus among astronomers that the latest object is a comet, Loeb has continued to entertain the idea that it may have been sent to us by an intelligent species from outside of the solar system — and he’s far from backing down.

In a blog post over the weekend, Loeb pointed to observations by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, which showed a “glow of light, likely from a coma, ahead of the motion of 3I/ATLAS towards the Sun.”

A coma is the hazy and luminous cloud that surrounds the nucleus of a comet.

However, there’s “no evidence for a bright cometary tail in the opposite direction,” he wrote, with scientists suggesting it was evidence that dust was evaporating from the object’s Sun-facing side.

The observations led Loeb and his colleagues to an intriguing, albeit far-fetched possibility: is the mysterious space object generating “its own light?”

After deliberations with his colleague and Harvard astrophysicist Eric Keto, Loeb suggested that the “simplest interpretation” of 3I/ATLAS’ observed “steep brightness profile” is that its nucleus “produces most of the light.”

That would also mean that its actual size is much smaller than currently thought, roughly in line with the size of the first two interstellar objects we’ve observed, ‘Oumuamua and 2I/Borisov.

The Harvard astronomer suggested two possibilities: either 3I/ATLAS is naturally emitting radiation because its a “rare fragment from the core of a nearby supernova that is rich in radioactive material” — or it’s a “spacecraft powered by nuclear energy, and the dust emitted from its frontal surface might be from dirt that accumulated on its surface during its interstellar travel.”

Loeb deemed the former explanation “highly unlikely,” and the latter as requiring “better evidence to be viable.”

Loeb previously argued that the object’s unusual trajectory — which includes suspiciously close flybys of both Earth and Jupiter — and its lack of a visible tail both undermine the theory that it’s a comet.

Intriguingly, 3I/ATLAS will come within spitting distance — at least in astronomical terms — of Mars this fall, giving us a tantalizing opportunity to have a first-hand look. Loeb suggested using NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter to point its scientific instruments at the rare visitor.

Best of all, scientists at the space agency appear to be game.

“This morning, I encouraged the HiRISE team to use their camera during the first week of October 2025 in order to gather new data on 3I/ATLAS,” Loeb wrote. “They responded favorably.”

The irony is staggering: those protesting against the head of the Gaza Humanitarian Fund. If you truly care about lives, why are you attacking those working tirelessly to provide food and aid to Gazans? It’s hard to reconcile calls for peace with efforts to block lifesaving support.”

The irony is undeniable: those screaming ‘genocider’ at the very people providing food to Gazans—who’s really calling for genocide now? These extremists, bent on escalating the situation, seem to be the ones fueling hatred and death, not those working to save lives.

‘Genocider!’: Gaza Humanitarian Fund head faces pro-Palestinian threats, protests over Gaza aid role.
Evangelical leader Rev. Johnnie Moore, head of the Gaza Humanitarian Fund and adviser to President Trump, is under police protection after death threats and vandalism; Pro-Palestinian activists stage near-daily protests, while he insists attacks only prove the moral urgency of his mission.

On June 22, 2025, a suicide bomber entered Saint Elias Greek Orthodox Church in Damascus during a packed evening worship service and unleashed unimaginable carnage. After opening fire on the congregation, the attacker detonated an explosive vest, killing nearly 30 people and injuring more than 60. It was the deadliest attack on Syria’s Christian community since the 1860 Damascus Massacre, and a stark reminder of Christianity’s increasingly perilous existence in its ancient homeland. 

The Jihadist group Saraya Ansar al-Sunnah, a splinter of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), has claimed responsibility. The attack illustrates a sobering reality: Syrian Christians, who have endured centuries of political repression and sectarian violence, now face an existential crisis. With every suicide bombing, every desecrated church, every community exodus, Syria edges closer to losing a two-millennia-old spiritual and cultural pillar. 

Syria is home to the world’s oldest existing Christian communities, which trace their lineage back to Apostolic times. According to Syriac Christian tradition, the Syriac Kingdom of Osroene (in modern northern Syria) was the world’s first political entity to declare Christianity as its state religion. King Abgar V — known as Abgar the Black — adopted the Christian faith after being healed from a devastating illness by the disciple Thaddeus in 33 AD. On the road to Damascus, the former persecutor of Christians, Saul of Tarsus, was transformed into the Apostle Paul, further rooting Christianity in Syrian soil.   

Syria has played a vital role as a wellspring of Christian thought, culture and civilization. Saint Ephrem the Syriac is renowned as one of the most prolific and consequential poets and theologians of the universal Church. Cities like Maaloula and Qamishli still preserve the Aramaic language of Jesus. Ancient churches and monasteries dot the landscape, bearing silent witness to Syria’s role as a cradle of Christian civilization. 

Prior to the start of the Syrian Civil War in 2011, Christians made up approximately 10 percent of Syria’s population and played key roles in academia, medicine, commerce and in public life. They coexisted with their Muslim neighbors to preserve a fragile but buoyant multiethnic, multiconfessional social fabric. 

The civil war, however, shattered this pluralistic order. Today, fewer than 300,000 Christians remain in Syria, down from roughly 2 million prior to the war. What remains is a deeply vulnerable remnant community, surrounded by instability, sectarianism and extremism. The recent bombing of Saint Elias Church is not just another act of terror — it’s a signal of the accelerating cultural erasure of a thriving Christian community.

For centuries, Christians have served as a moderating force in Syria, exemplifying the “love thy neighbor” ethos, offering Syrian society a model of compassion, coexistence and moral restraint. Their elimination would cause a narrowing of ideas, identities and beliefs, which would enable radical ideologies to reach an otherwise moderate Muslim demographic.   

Christianity’s extinction in Syria would also mark the loss of a vital bridge between East and West. Syriac Christianity provides unique access into the mind, culture and worldview native to Christ and the Apostles, and thus shaped the theology of the early church and connected the Western tradition with its Semitic roots. Its loss would sever a crucial link in this shared civilizational heritage. 

response to the Saint Elias Church attack, the United States must press the Syrian Transitional Government to bring the perpetrators to justice and implement robust security measures to protect the country’s Christian communities. 

While the Syrian Transitional Government is a coalition of Islamist factions with problematic histories, diplomatic disengagement and isolation by the U.S. risks creating a vacuum, empowering extremists. Diplomatic engagement, if strategically structured, would serve as a powerful tool to establish guardrails for behavior and mechanisms for accountability. Diplomatic engagement does not imply endorsement. It provides a framework for leverage and influence. The U.S. must condition any formal diplomatic recognition on the Syrian Transitional Government’s guarantee to protect minority rights, religious freedom and enshrine constitutional safeguards.

To this end, the U.S. should: 

1. Establish measured diplomatic relations with the Syrian Transitional Government and lift sanctions to promote security, stability and human rights. Diplomatic recognition should be leveraged to compel concrete commitments for reform and representative governance under the law. 
2. Require security guarantees to ensure that the Syrian Transitional Government establishes and enforces robust security protocols to safeguard churches, monasteries, clergy and Christian neighborhoods. Security protocols would include enhanced policing and cooperation with international non-governmental organizations.
3. Require constitutional protections that enshrine equal citizenship and religious freedom for all components of Syrian society. Any new Syrian constitution must guarantee minority religious components’ right to worship freely, run their own institutions and participate fully in public life. 
4. Urge Syrian Transitional Government initiatives for cultural preservation of the Syrian Christian heritage. Such initiatives would include the restoration and preservation of historically and religiously significant Christian sites (many of which have been damaged or destroyed in the conflict), and the preservation of linguistic heritage. These efforts should include Christian leaders and local communities in both planning and implementation.
5. Deliver humanitarian aid to assist in the rebuilding of infrastructure, the establishment of stable governance and the implementation of robust security measures. Vetted non-governmental organizations and religious institutions representing vulnerable communities should also receive direct aid for local humanitarian relief and to support the safe resettlement of displaced and devastated communities.

World leaders and policymakers must move beyond reactive condemnations and adopt proactive strategies to preserve what remains of Syria’s Christian heritage — recognizing its enduring significance to global civilization. The consequences of indifference would not stop at Syria’s borders. The disappearance of pluralism in the Middle East will fuel continued destabilization in the region. 

This approach balances moral obligation with strategic interest, and if implemented properly, will incentivize stable post-conflict order in Syria. 

A Syria without Christians is no longer a distant hypothetical scenario. It is a rapidly approaching reality which the world cannot afford. The Christian presence in Syria is a thread in the broader tapestry of human civilization. If that thread is plucked, the whole tapestry frays. 

As the blood stains dry on the pews of Saint Elias Church, the U.S. and international community must reckon with the price of indifference — and resolve to pursue the moral obligation of civilized nations.

For a long time, the American economic system has been defined by the imprecise term “capitalism.” The system varies in its application. When conservatives are in power, the government favors free markets and less state intervention. When liberals rule, social safety nets and regulations are given more free rein.

Regardless of the application, America’s economic system maintains robust growth because its most important sectors favor the free market ideal. That is why America stands out economically.

A Changing Narrative

That economic narrative is now changing. State intervention is taking on a positive meaning. Populist movements see government as a political tool they can use to leverage economic policy in favor of their agendas. Government economic holdings are increasing in the name of national security, employment opportunities, or the common good.

Classical economists warn that such use of power is dangerous since it easily becomes abusive. Government overinvolvement in the economy can bog down everything and send the wrong signals to markets. When the government extends favors, it expects others in return. Once the government invests in a project, it tends to sustain it even when it fails.

The new model cannot be called socialism since it does not involve total control of the means of production. However, it is a form of state capitalism, a broadly defined term where the state guides the decisions of nominally private companies and makes demands on them. Others, like the Wall Street Journal, call it corporate statism, which expresses a closer model of cooperation between government and private industry. 

Most Americans consider state capitalism in any form to be the problem of China, some European nations, and other leftist states that cannot shake free of the habit of state control of the economy. However, new policies are making it America’s problem, and it must be opposed.

History of State Intervention in America

America has long been presented with the state capitalist or corporate statist temptation. Many trace its origins to the New Deal, where huge government works projects and social programs introduced unseen federal spending levels. Once introduced, the spending never went away.

Government cooperation with industry is also common in times of war and crisis. The 2008 subprime mortgage crisis and COVID were occasions for bailouts, stimuli, and subsidies, many of which had adverse economic effects. Such measures, however, were in response to extraordinary events that were not sustained over time.  

However, more recent developments have seen policies from both parties that suggest a closer relationship that allows the government to dictate policy and interfere directly in firms and markets.

Injecting Money into the Economy

For example, President Biden’s misnamed Inflation Reduction Act injected $400 billion in clean energy loans into the market. His Chips and Science Act tried to reshape the domestic semiconductor industry with a $39 billion infusion favoring stateside production of chips.

In his turn, as a condition for the Nippon Steel takeover of U.S. Steel, President Trump demanded that the federal government be granted a “golden share,” allowing it to veto plant closings, layoffs, and other management decisions.

Direct government investment in rare earth element extraction will make the state a major stakeholder in these projects as well. In addition, there is talk of the government taking a ten percent share in Intel to save the struggling semiconductor manufacturer.

All these measures involve artificially increasing government involvement as a political tool to garner support for agendas, keep employment levels high, or address national security concerns.

The Perils of State Capitalism

Although it does not take property away or seize the means of production from private hands, this corporate statist option distorts markets and causes crises. The artificial infusion of money into areas of concern is a recipe for inefficiency.

The most cited example of the dangers of state capitalism is the Chinese Communist Party’s strong presence in nominally private companies. Xi Jinping’s recent crackdowns are turning Chinese industry, with its imported capitalist methods and technology, into a formidable weapon against the West. Harnessed in this way by the state, the economy loses its nimble character. The result is central planning that leads to huge overproduction, which causes prices and profits to plummet. The world is flooded by cheap Chinese goods that destroy local competition.  

The American Danger

The corporate statist temptation in America is much less pronounced than in China, Europe, Brazil, or other government-heavy economies. Nevertheless, it is a danger that should be avoided at all costs.

Government policymakers might see increased participation in the economy and revenue sharing as a way to prosperity. However, such moneymaking schemes rarely work out.

There is a vast graveyard of failed pet projects. These include Foxconn’s promised factory in Wisconsin and Tesla’s solar-panel disaster in New York. It also consists of current projects like America’s ragtag air traffic control system or the ever-ailing Amtrak railroad system, which is forced to keep unprofitable routes for political, not economic reasons.

State capitalism is dangerous. Government should be limited to what it does best — governing. That means providing moral guidance and serving as a source of unity. Government should be a guardian of the common good, encouraging people to move together in a good direction. It should take good care of its direct responsibilities — foreign policy, defense, sound monetary policy, the protection of international trade, and so forth — and not get involved in financial schemes to make money. Each sector of the nation has its role and functions. They work best when they do what they should and avoid entanglement in the affairs of others.

John Horvat, American Thinker

Democratic socialists” have been getting the teenage-idol treatment from giddy reporters and editors at legacy media outlets for years. Their newest crush is on the jihadi-apologist and Marxist New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani.

In a 4,500-word cover story about the candidate, “The Meaning of Zohran Mamdani,” Time magazine paints a caricature of a well-meaning, authentic, and not-really-so-radical go-getter. An “ideologue interested in creative solutions” is how Time puts it. Sure, Mamdani might support genocidal rhetoric, but the Jewish community will be pleased to learn that he “often talked about the problem of antisemitism and the need for anti-hate-crime funding.”

Is Mamdani, as many would have it, a generational talent whose campaign should be mimicked nationally by Democrats? For me, it’s difficult to see much “meaning” in the trope-ridden rhetoric he offers. “I think the most important thing,” the candidate, who, like most socialists, is a child of privilege, notes, “is that people see themselves and their struggles in your campaign.” Deep stuff. His “creative solutions” entail fresh ideas like rent control, a policy Mamdani benefits from personally that was instituted in 1943.

While journalists are mightily impressed, the truth is that Mamdani is running in a hard-left city against a gaggle of unlikeable, corrupt has-been Democrats. Much like Rep. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), his fame is propelled by his radicalism and youth. Neither of them has passed a single consequential piece of legislation, come up with a new idea, much less a solution, or delivered a memorable speech.

Anyway, as one commenter pointed out, New York City is already something of a “socialist” city, with 40% of its residents living in rent-controlled apartments, 600,000 working for the city, and another 600,000 working for nonprofit groups largely funded by government.

You may recall that elegant gown Ocasio-Cortez donned with the slogan “Tax the Rich” written on it at the 2021 Met Gala, where guests selected by Vogue’s Anna Wintour ponied up about $35,000 a pop to hobnob with the rich and famous at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Well, the top 1% pay about 48% of New York City’s bills, and .01% pay nearly 31%. New York’s top 1% pay a combined 52% top tax rate, the highest in the country. The top 10% of earners paid about two-thirds of the city’s income tax revenue. In 2023, 41% of taxes were paid by millionaires, who make up about 4% of the population.

Technically, socialism entails the state controlling the means of production and distribution. “Democratic socialism,” on the other hand, entails young people demanding that others pay for all the benefits of the market system they pretend to detest.

And there is no doubt that “socialism” is gaining popularity and normalization, especially among the young. A recent poll by the Cato Institute and YouGov found that though 59% of Americans still had a favorable view of capitalism (41% unfavorable), 62% aged 18 to 29 had a “favorable view” of socialism. Then again, more than a third of young people hold favorable views of communism. Do they really understand that 100 million died trying to make it work? Maybe.

Democratic Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett blasted Texas Republicans’ newly redrawn district map as “racist” Monday night on Instagram — while in the same video she praised California Democrats’ gerrymander.

Crockett’s comments come as runaway Texas Democrats return to Austin to vote on the Lone Star State’s proposed map, which will likely result in the GOP picking up five seats there in the midterms. California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom also recently announced a special November election for California voters to approve the Democratic-dominated state legislature’s gerrymandered map, which was drafted in an effort to “neutralize” Texas’ mid-decade redistricting.

All of the racists feel a way when you call them exactly what they are. When you say, ‘Oh you guys are racist, and you guys are trying to implement racist practices with these racist maps,’” Crockett said on Instagram. “It’s like, bro, I get that you took your hood off, but your hood is still there, like we see it.”

Crockett in the video also claimed that “democracy” is “crumbling before our eyes” in reference to the Republican-drawn map, further calling the GOP-controlled Texas House “problematic.” Later in the same Instagram reel, the congresswoman gave “big ups” to California Democrats for planning to override the state’s redistricting commission to implement their own partisan map.

Texas’ new GOP-drawn proposed map has a higher percentage of Democratic seats than California’s current commission-drawn map — let alone its legislature’s proposed map — has Republican seats.

“It is time to match their energy, if not exceeding, because I’m tired of [Republicans]. Like, they are consistently playing in our faces. And while I’m saying I’m tired of them, big ups to my colleagues in California that got together, got this together,” Crockett said. “Texas may want to play, but guess what? California can play too.”

Crockett had claimed Texas’ new map would reduce minority voting power during an Aug. 9 appearance on MSNBC. However, Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott rebutted her claims the following day on Fox News, clarifying that four of the five newly redrawn Republican-leaning seats in the map will be “predominantly Hispanic.”

“The problem that Democrats have in the state of Texas is Hispanics, black voters and other voters, they have learned now that the ideas that Democrats stand for are contrary to the ideas that the Hispanic community and black community stand for,” Abbott said on Aug. 10. “They all want secure borders, they don’t want men and women’s sports and they want support for law enforcement.”

This freak says he’s going to create more Democratic seats in Congress to ensure a permanent Democratic majority after which time he will impose his one party rule on America.

My questions:

1) When will he be arrested for openly planning this fraud?

2) How does he plan to rule all of America when half or more of America stands ready to treat his threats as an act of war?

3) Why is California even still in the United States? Iran and Venezuela and Cuba are not part of America. How is California any different?

Newsom and other totalitarians like him claim to be for “immigration.”

Leftists are not for immigration.

Immigration means people entering a free country to choose and be responsible for their own lives. Leftists want world socialism. They see new people entering the country as an opportunity to make America more and more socialist and Communist. They don’t care what happens to the country, to its diminishing freedom; not even to the immigrants themselves. They only care about power, control, more socialism and an unhealthy relationship with their own sense of perceived virtue.

Immigration is pointless and irrelevant without freedom. The culture and country leftists are creating will not be a place any rational person would risk life and limb getting to.
