The rigging Factors: The 2020 Election – What They Don't Want You to Know Folks, let's cut through the spin and get to the facts. For years, the mainstream media and the political establishment have dismissed any questions about the 2020 presidential election as "baseless conspiracy theories." But now, even *Time* magazine – hardly a Trump-friendly outlet – has let the cat out of the bag. And with fresh FBI actions in Georgia, Arizona, and beyond, the American people deserve straight talk, not more gaslighting. This isn't about sour grapes; it's about election integrity, the foundation of our republic. Back in February 2021, *Time* ran a piece titled "The Secret History of the Shadow Campaign   That Saved the 2020 Election ." Written by Molly Ball,  This article describes a "well-funded cabal" of powerful people – left-wing activists, union bosses, corporate CEOs (including Mark Zuckerberg's money pouring in), and tech insiders – who wo...

  In the landscape of contemporary American activism, figures like Kei Pritsker exemplify a new breed of professional organizer whose work bridges radical socialist politics, campus protests, and well-funded institutional networks. A journalist with BreakThrough News, PSL member, and co-director of the documentary *The Encampments*, Pritsker has become a visible face in pro-Palestinian campus actions, particularly at Columbia University. Critics argue that such activists operate within a broader ecosystem where communist-oriented political parties and front groups receive substantial support from wealthy donors, including billionaires and their foundations. Pritsker’s affiliations run deep within the **Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL)**, a Marxist-Leninist organization, and its allied entities such as the ANSWER Coalition and The People’s Forum. BreakThrough News, where he works, serves as a media arm closely tied to PSL leadership, including Brian Becker and his son Ben Be...

 *The Unholy Alliance: How the Left and Islamists, Including Iran, Converge to Undermine the West In recent decades, a paradoxical yet potent partnership has emerged between segments of the Western political left and Islamist movements, including the Iranian regime. Commentators like Mahyar Tousi, an Iranian-British analyst known for his sharp insights into the Islamic Republic and its global reach, have repeatedly highlighted this convergence as a strategic alignment aimed at eroding Western liberal democracies. Though rooted in seemingly incompatible ideologies—one secular and egalitarian in rhetoric, the other theocratic and hierarchical—this "red-green alliance" finds common ground in anti-Western sentiment, opposition to capitalism, criticism of Israel, and a shared desire to reshape global power structures. At its core, this collaboration operates through mutual exploitation. Islamists leverage the left's platforms, multiculturalism policies, and institutional influ...

 Often respected Christians will call themselves sinnerss.  Every human being sins, but are all human beings considered sinners?  After accepting Jesus Christ, you are no longer defined as a "sinner" by identity, but rather a "saint" and a child of God. However, because human nature remains, you may still commit sins, requiring ongoing grace and daily repentance.The transition from being considered a "sinner" to a follower of Christ changes how God views you and how you should view yourself:Your New Identity:  The Bible describes believers as "saints", "new creations", and the "righteousness of God". Your fundamental identity is no longer bound to your past failures, but to what Jesus accomplished.The Reality of Sin: While your essential identity changes, your fallen human nature remains.  You will still stumble and make mistakes. The difference is that you are no longer a "slave" to sin; you have the Holy Spirit ins...

 The Bennett Hypothesis: How Increased Government Funding Has Driven Up College Costs In 1987, then-U.S Secretary of Education William Bennett published a provocative op-ed in The New York Times titled "Our Greedy Colleges." He argued that generous federal student aid programs, rather than making higher education more affordable, were enabling colleges and universities to raise tuition with confidence that students could simply borrow more to cover the increases. This idea, now known as the Bennett Hypothesis, has been debated for decades. Yet a growing body of evidence suggests it rings true, particularly as both federal and state investments in education have expanded alongside skyrocketing tuition prices. The core logic is straightforward: when government subsidies—primarily through loans, grants like Pell, and other aid—make students less sensitive to price, institutions face reduced pressure to control costs. Instead, they can expand amenities, administrative staff, and ...

 Opinion · 2026 California Governor's Race California Needs Steve Hilton — and the Numbers Prove It As the June 2 primary arrives, one candidate stands clearly apart: a pragmatic outsider with a concrete affordability agenda, a compelling populist vision, and the coalition-building potential California desperately needs.
