Local Ithacan, student organizer, and member of the Communist Party USA, Hannah Shvets (20) decisively defeated landlord and former factory CEO Gepe Zurenda in a hotly contested race for the Fifth Ward Common Council seat. Shvets was propelled to her seat by a growing coalition composed of labor unions, community organizations, and the numerous local formations of the progressive left. Ithaca, a Democratic stronghold, has long dealt with persistent wealth inequality, food insecurity, exorbitant housing prices (with resulting rampant homelessness), and an intensifying cost of living crisis. Democratic Party dominance, however, has done little to provide long-term solutions to these seemingly endemic problems. Many residents feel a lot of the explanation for this failure was embodied in Shvets' opponent. The Democratic Party leadership should be paying more attention to the progressive left and less towards Wall Street and AIPAC if they want future electoral success. read more
Faux News host Maria Bartimoro interviewed medical quack Dr. Mehmet Oz who owns millions in stocks in the same health insurance companies his department oversees:
In a shocking admission, former D/Mossad Yossi Cohen has openly boasted that Israel has deployed a global sabotage and espionage network which uses "booby-trapped and spy-manipulated equipment." The method, denounced as terrorism by ex-CIA chief Leon Panetta and the UN, was used to target Lebanese Hezbollah and now, according to Cohen, is embedded in "all the countries you can imagine." Cohen, who led a blackmail campaign against ICJ judges, claimed personal credit for inventing the "pager method" during his tenure at Mossad's SOD between 2002 and 2004. "You know how many treated equipment we have in these countries? Not only booby-trapped, but spy-manipulated ... in all countries you can imagine," Cohen confessed, describing what appears to be a far-reaching system of compromised commercial hardware used to gather intelligence or, in some cases, cause physical harm. And we thought Chinese intelligence was penetrating all of our electronic devices. read more
"The new leader of Syria is a former Al Qaeda terrorist wanted by our government who is meeting with President Trumpf today at the White House on the USMC's 250th anniversary. He rose to power in Dec 2024, sanctions were lifted off Syria in June, and many Christians and minority groups have been killed before and after sanctions were lifted. Syria is the oldest home of Christianity outside of Israel. The apostle Paul met Jesus on the road to Damascus. I pray the persecution ends, not only in Syria, but all around the world. However, I would really like to see nonstop meetings at the WH on domestic policy not foreign policy and foreign country's leaders. Start by hauling in the health insurance company's executives and let's start formulating our Republican plan to save America from Obamacare and ACA tax credits that have skyrocketed the cost of health insurance!" read more
Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) Director Bill Pulte confirmed he is "working on" a plan to introduce 50-year mortgage terms for home buyers. read more
Trump/MAGA is responsible for this, and for Mamdami.
Everyone hates you, and you hate yourselves at least half the time.
You are social deadends. Arrogant, sadistic, stupid, and useless.

How are you, Zed?
We must give credit where credit is due. Zohran Mamdani and Hannah Shvets ran superb races against flaccid Empty Suits.
Are we blaming MAGA for the rise of Zohran Mamdani and Hannah Shvets or are we praising MAGA for giving us these two stellar, progressive youngsters?
In the 1950s, US Senator Joseph McCarthy (R-WI) and his colleagues in the lower House (HUAC) made "Communist" a bad word.
Today is Veteran's Day or in Dummkopf Trumpf's vernacular "Suckers and Losers Day." Dashiell Hammett, who gave us The Maltese Falcon and The Thin Man, was a member of the US Communist Party. He patriotically served in BOTH the First and Second World Wars. For not diming out his Fellow Travelers during the HUAC witch hunt, this patriotic veteran and Communist was imprisoned.

America was heading well towards feudalism before Trumpf 2.0, now we are accelerating full speed into the past under his nefarious junta: Feudal States of America.
Meanwhile, Trumpf Crime Family (TCF) scion Barron made $20m this year in nebulous crypto-currency deals. He'll never suffer from feudalistic debts, indentured servitude, or 50-effin' year mortgages. And he's still in college.
The frontispiece of the uber-wealthy American oligarchy, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), held a six-minute press conference, then fled before he could answer any questions about saving the tax subsidies for the ACA.
Then the waffle king would not commit when CNN's Jake Tapper pressed him on bringing a vote to the floor to address health care affordability before the ACA tax subsidies expire: Bye-bye ACA tax subsidies.
Retired 4-Star Navy Admiral and Navy Seal Officer William McRaven said this about Trump.
"Through your actions, you have embarrassed us in the eyes of our children, humiliated us on the world stage; and, worst of all, divided us as a nation."
