The 2026 midterms are being sold as “crazy versus common sense.” Allen West argues the real contest is Communism versus Constitutionalism, and that a DSA Senate nominee’s federal wealth registry is all the proof anyone should need.

Eighteen Years Ago

By |2026-08-25T15:00:24-04:00August 25th, 2026|

A DSA leader just admitted his organization's “hatred of the United States Constitution,” calling our rule of law an obstacle to revolution.

Are the Democratic Socialists of America a political party, or a seditious communist movement?

By |2026-08-05T10:23:31-04:00August 5th, 2026|

The DSA claims to be a political party, but it runs candidates in Democratic primaries, takes money from a China-based Marxist financier, and its members have pledged allegiance to the Chinese Communist Party.
