The Real Cost of Socialism to Your Family

 

The real cost of socialism to your family

The Democratic Socialists of America’s 2026 Workers Deserve More program includes a range of policy commitments, among them the eight major policies highlighted here. Seven of them would add about $49 trillion to federal deficits over ten years. That is roughly $355,000 for every American household.

The eight DSA policies

What each one promises, what it costs, and what else it changes. Open any row for the details.

Medicare for All

Single-payer, first-dollar coverage; no premiums or cost sharing

Wealth tax

Student debt and free college

32-hour workweek

Open borders and amnesty

Green New Deal

IG Michael Horowitz and ENTIRE FED Should Be Fired, Arrested and Immediately Prosecuted

September 30, 2026

Michael Horowitz is not an Inspector General.  He is the corruption manager for the U.S. government!

President Trump responds:

“The Inspector General’s Report just came out on Jerome “Too Late” Powell’s “renovation” of the Federal Reserve Headquarters in Washington, D.C. The IG’s Report states that there were “deficiencies in the management of the renovation project.” The Building is over budget, at a Record Setting rate and, at a minimum, “Too Late” Powell should be forced to resign from the Board. He can’t manage a Building, and he certainly shouldn’t be allowed to manage his High Interest Rate Policy (only on “TRUMP!”). 

I have asked Attorney General Todd Blanche to study the report, and make a determination as to what to do about a relatively small Building Complex that is Hundreds of Millions of Dollars over budget, and is now going to cost, according to the Report, at least 2.5 Billion Dollars, with no end in sight. 

The Report states, “We were concerned to find that the Board did not obtain a project cost estimate from the [construction manager] until January 2026, which was 3.5 years after construction began and after the Board had awarded more than $2 billion in construction costs. As of July 2026, more than 4 years after construction began and $2 billion has been awarded for construction, the Board had yet to set a [guaranteed maximum price]” — An absolutely unheard of situation! — “The Board therefore still does not have cost certainty and has not transferred material risk to the [construction manager].” 

In actuality, I think that the 2.5 Billion Dollars will be 3.5 Billion Dollars, and maybe 4 Billion Dollars by the time they’re finished, and may never get properly built. Soundproofing, and all other elements of the Building, will be inferior to what was previously there. In particular, the magnificent beauty, sculptured ceilings and walls, and so many other things which made the Federal Reserve Building stand apart, will never be captured again, and are only being replaced by flat, boring, less than midlevel finishes. 

I could have done a far better Renovation for 25 Million Dollars, completely maintaining the MAGNIFICENCE of the structure, and had money left over. They completely destroyed the Beauty and Glorious History of the Building. 

This is Jerome Powell’s fault, and he should be forced to resign, IMMEDIATELY! If he doesn’t resign, he should be sued, at the highest level, by the United States Government, for either corruption or incompetence, both of which are completely unacceptable…And no, I do not want this Building named after President Donald J. Trump, ME! Thank you for your attention to this matter.”

Project Oversight Law Firm

 POLITICS

It’s Time for the Right to Return Fire

• By Tom Klingenstein
• September 29, 2026

Lawfare is the strategic use of legal proceedings to intimidate, distract, defame, or destroy an opponent. Over the past decade, the Left has built a powerful, well-funded network that is carrying out Lawfare against our advocate class. The Left raised at least $183 million last year.

To examine lawfare, we must consider the current context, which is this: we are at war, a cold civil war, against a domestic regime which wants to overthrow America. It is correct to call it a “war,” and not just an unusually wide divide, because the contest is between two moral orders. From a given moral order there flows a given set of laws, values, customs, and other aspects of culture. Obviously, a society can have only one of each. The moral order of the enemy regime rests on group outcome equality. The moral order of our regime, on the other hand, rests on individual merit. These two moral orders—individual merit versus group quotas—are utterly irreconcilable. 

It would be imprudent to reveal our plans to the enemy, but at minimum, the newly minted Project Oversight Law Firm will pursue damages, fees, and other remedies that make the Left’s Lawfare too costly to continue. When necessary, this new firm will bring into question the careers and reputations of those who are committing Lawfare against us. It’s time to turn the tables.

Why I Don’t Trust Legacy Media, Paul Thacker

Why I Don’t Trust Legacy Media

BY PAUL THACKER    SEPTEMBER 12, 2026   MEDIA, POLICY, VACCINES   28 MINUTE

During a bombshell Senate hearing last week, CIA officer, Jim Erdman III testified under oath that the CIA’s scientific analysts determined that the Covid pandemic started from a lab leak, but their scientific conclusions were hidden from Congress and the American public, in what Erdman called “a coverup.”

“Public policy would have been very different had the American public been made aware that a virus from a lab in China was going to serve as the foundation for an Emergency Use Authorization of mRNA products being mandated by the former administration,” Erdman said, questioning the validity of the Covid vaccine approval process.

Erdman also indicted Tony Fauci, the then-director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), for inserting himself into the Intelligence Community’s (IC) assessment of the Covid origins, on two documented occasions. In both instances, Fauci steered IC discussion toward a natural origin and away from declaring that the pandemic started from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, which Fauci had funded via US government grants.

Such explosive charges—a CIA coverup, Fauci’s complicity, and the misguided approval of Covid vaccines—should have ignited a media inferno; instead we got a cold frost. No front-page headline from the New York Times, no angry Washington Post editorial, no story of horror from NPR. And frozen silence from Science Magazine, Nature, Scientific American, and The Atlantic. Not even an icy tweet.

9/11 Families United

9/11 Families United is a coalition of families and survivors of the worst-ever terrorist attacks on American soil. We have come together anew to urge our fellow Americans to demand answers to longstanding, unresolved questions about those terrorist attacks, and to insist that our government release the evidence it is withholding — once and for all. 

We believe that more than two decades is too long to wait for full transparency …

… about the murders of our loved ones,

… about the nations, especially Saudi Arabia, that helped the hijackers,

… about the nations that provided financial backing for al Qaeda, and

… about America’s “allies” who continue to send terrorists into the world. 

For more than 20 years, the U.S. government has kept thousands of pages of evidence hidden that will help us answer to these questions. Recent disclosures have only increased the urgency of full transparency, but many of these documents are still being kept from us all.

We make this demand on behalf of our community, but also for all Americans who care about accountability and truth.  We make this demand with a shared sense of purpose — that we will not rest until our government finally does the right thing.  

Without full transparency and candor, we can’t heal — not as family members and survivors, and not as citizens.  Today we are left with doubt, distrust, and anger at the politicians and bureaucrats who claim they care about the truth and the pain we have suffered, but then work every day to keep us in the dark.  This must stop.  We all deserve answers, and we all can learn from an honest, public exposure of the facts. 

Only then can Americans have confidence that we are doing everything we can to ensure justice, and to make sure that a day like 9/11 never happens again.

David Morens and the Problem of Obedience, Rev. John F. Naugle

David Morens and the Problem of Obedience

BY REV. JOHN F. NAUGLE    AUGUST 22, 2026   GOVERNMENT

Our system of government seems to be overrun by men and women who have destroyed any semblance of human freedom in their hearts in order to obtain and protect their jobs. Little by little their obedience is procured from those malignant actors whom they serve by demanding acts which violate their consciences until their consciences are dead and their characters are destroyed.

Let the sad character of David Morens serve as warning to both elected officials and administrative hires alike. There is nothing to be gained in the long run by being blindly obedient. In the end, it is the whistleblowers and the martyrs who are authentically free.

In the end, we are all obedient to someone. When in the service of evil, obedience destroys freedom. When in the service of good, obedience perfects freedom. Ultimately the fight is between free servants of the truth and those who are slaves to lies, and the fight for truth is always worth whatever it may cost us.

The Saturday Wrap-Up - Trump Walked Into China and Killed Kissinger's Thucydides Trap - May 16, 2026

Susan Kokinda dissects Trump's China summit — the unprecedented CEO delegation, denuclearization talks with Xi, and Trump's rejection of Taiwan war-mongering. The British-cooked "Thucydides Trap" narrative is being dismantled by Trump's revival of the American System.

SUSAN KOKINDA

SATURDAY

•  Susan Kokinda analyzes President Trump's May 14 post responding to Xi Jinping's remarks about the "Thucydides Trap," arguing media coverage framed the U.S. as declining while Trump asserted America's renewed strength. She says the summit's real significance was Trump bringing an unprecedented delegation of top U.S. CEOs into the bilateral meeting and including the Defense Secretary, breaking a post-1972 pattern. Kokinda highlights Trump raising denuclearization directly with Xi and rejecting war-driven "geopolitical trigger points," including on Taiwan, emphasizing avoiding a distant war. She contends the Thucydides Trap concept popularized by Graham Allison is British-influenced "fake history" that obscures imperial manipulation, and claims Trump is dismantling that paradigm by reviving the American System—tariffs, manufacturing, and energy independence.

Sinicization on Display – President Trump Tours The Temple of Heaven with Chairman Xi Jinping May 14, 2026 | Sundance |

 

Sinicization on Display – President Trump Tours The Temple of Heaven with Chairman Xi Jinping

May 14, 2026 | Sundance |

Chinese Chairman Xi Jinping wanted to emphasize history and determination when he took President Donald Trump on a tour of the Temple of Heaven in Beijing, China.   The temple was used by Chinese Emperors in the Ming and Qing dynasties where the rulers would pray for abundant harvests, good weather and good fortune for the people of China.  Apparently, Chairman Xi wanted to send a message that rulers of China follow a mandate that is in alignment with spiritual divinity.

It is a rather ironic view of stewardship considering that religion is subject to strict government regulation in communist China. The Chinese government officially recognizes five religions: Buddhism, Catholicism, Islam, Protestantism, and Daoism; however, the practice of each religion must follow communist rules and be in alignment with all CCP dictates.  Within China, this is known as “sinicization,” a requirement that all religious groups must adapt their beliefs and practices to align with Chinese culture and the Communist Party’s ideology.

The Temple of Heaven is near Tiananmen Square, and the most famous temple in Beijing.  Originally built along with the Forbidden City in the early 1400s the temple is also near the royal palace that President Trump and Chairman Xi toured with their spouses in 2017.  Video Below:

Trump Brings Hard Truth to China: The Old World Order Is Over

Promethean Overviews

(17:35)

The old global order is breaking apart — and a new system is beginning to emerge.

President Trump is pressuring China to help force Iran to abandon its nuclear ambitions while simultaneously restructuring global trade, rebuilding American manufacturing, dismantling the post-9/11 intelligence apparatus, and launching the largest nuclear expansion in modern U.S. history.

From the Strait of Hormuz and U.S.-China diplomacy to Tulsi Gabbard’s intelligence overhaul, Russiagate investigations, nuclear reactor construction, and America’s industrial resurgence, this video explores the forces shaping the next phase of global power.

The foundation for a new American-led industrial civilization is already being built.
