New York Is Drowning in Socialism — Here’s How We’re Saving It

Published

On Saturday, August 30, the heart of New York City shook with a sound rarely heard in Washington Square Park: conservatives, independents, and even Democrats standing shoulder-to-shoulder against socialism. 

Brandon Straka, founder of the #WalkAway movement, was joined by author and media personality Shamika Michelle, mayoral candidate Joseph Hernandez, social media firebrand Defender of the Republic, and myself to rally against the failed ideology that radical Democrats are now trying to force on America. 

The crowd gathered in one of the most liberal corners of the country to send a message that freedom will not die quietly, even in New York.

Straka reminded New Yorkers of what the left wants people to forget—America’s greatest strength is freedom, and socialism destroys freedom wherever it spreads. 

His call was a warning that conservatives, moderates, and independents must unite now or risk watching New York City fall deeper under the control of extremists. 

Unity is not a choice; it is the only option if this city and country are going to survive the socialist assault.

Socialism doesn’t work. Venezuela, once the wealthiest country in South America, has collapsed after years of socialist rule. More than 76% of Venezuelans now live in extreme poverty, and over 7 million citizens have fled since 2015 according to the United Nations. 

In 2018, Venezuela’s inflation rate skyrocketed above 65,000%, wiping out savings and leaving families to starve. 

Cuba, another so-called socialist success story, has average monthly wages of less than $20 and continues to ration basic food and medicine. 

Wherever socialism spreads, it brings collapse, scarcity, and misery. Importing these same failed policies into the United States will destroy opportunity for millions of Americans.

The rally was held in the middle of Washington Square Park, with tourists, students, and families forced to confront ideas the media refuses to show them. 

New Yorkers stopped, listened, and debated in real time. 

The younger crowd of college students was confronted with facts that challenged the lies they have been sold. 

Gallup polling shows that 44% of Americans under 30 view socialism favorably compared to only 28% of those over 65. The rally cut directly into this vulnerable demographic with the message that inequality is not solved by making everyone equally poor.

Zohran Mamdani and his socialist allies are not fighting for progress, they are fighting for control. Their policies would gut small businesses, defund the police, and reduce an already struggling city into a hollow shell. 

Nearly half of New York City’s workforce is employed by small businesses, and these businesses are already suffocating under high taxes and endless regulations. Stripping them of even more resources would destroy the backbone of the city’s economy. 

The only way forward is through policies that empower families and entrepreneurs, not through government overreach that punishes success and rewards dependency.

Socialism cannot win unless people stop fighting, and conservatives in New York just showed that they are not going anywhere. 

The rally sent a clear message across the city and the country: socialism has no safe harbor in America, not even in New York City.

Black Lives Matter Activist in Boston Pleads Guilty to Federal Fraud Charges – Scammed Donors to Fund Her Lifestyle

A Black Lives Matter activist in Boston named Monica Cannon-Grant pleaded guilty to federal charges this week, admitting that she scammed donors and used their money to fund her own lavish lifestyle.

Cannon-Grant was previously held up as an admired figure. The city of Boston named her the Bostonian of the year at one point for her ‘social justice activism’ and she was even recognized by the Boston Celtics basketball team for her efforts.

She is now facing a minimum of two years in prison.

The New York Post reports:

BLM-linked activist admits conning donors to fund her lavish lifestyle

A once-celebrated Boston social activist has pleaded guilty to defrauding donors — including Black Lives Matter — out of thousands of dollars that she used as a personal piggy bank.

Monica Cannon-Grant, 44, pleaded guilty Monday to 18 counts of fraud-related crimes that she committed with her late husband while operating their Violence in Boston (VIB) activists group, according to the US Attorney’s Office in Massachusetts.

The activist scammed money — including $3,000 from a BLM group — while claiming it was to help feed children and run protests like one in 2020 over the murder of George Floyd and police violence.

Cannon-Grant also conned her way into getting $100,000 in federal pandemic-related unemployment benefits — which she used to pay off her personal auto loan and car insurance policy.

But she has now confessed to transferring funds to personal bank accounts to pay for rent, shopping sprees, delivery meals, visits to a nail salon — and even a summer vacation to Maryland.

Just amazing.

Here’s a local video report:

She should pay back every penny.

Keith Olbermann Backpedals Furiously With Apology for Threatening CNN’s Scott Jennings – Jennings Responds (VIDEO)

As the Gateway Pundit reported yesterday, former MSNBC host and generally unhinged leftist Keith Olbermann, appeared to threaten CNN’s conservative pundit Scott Jennings on Twitter saying, ‘You’re next motherf**ker.’

Well, Olbermann may have gotten a phone call or a visit from the FBI because today he walked back those comments with a full-throated apology.

RedState has an update:

To quickly recap, Scott Jennings, a Salem Media Network radio host and conservative CNN political commentator, reacted to breaking news on Monday that Kimmel had been reinstated by tweeting, “So basically his employer suspended him for being an insensitive pr**k, and we don’t live in an authoritarian regime? Got it.”

This enraged Olbermann, who proceeded to tweet what many, including Jennings, perceived to be a threat. “You’re next, motherf**ker. But keep mugging to the camera.” Jennings tagged Patel and included a screengrab of the tweets in response.

Though the FBI hasn’t commented as to whether an investigation was launched, Olbermann ostensibly appears to have thought twice about what he tweeted and deleted, apologizing profusely in tweets posted on Tuesday and claiming what he wrote was “misinterpreted”:

See Olbermann’s tweet below:

Scott Jennings, always a class act, offered this hilarious response:

Keith Olbermann really needs help. The guy is just so out of control.

Where is Lance Twiggs? Kirk Assassin’s Transgender Lover Has Vanished

Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson and roommate Lance Twiggs

Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson lived with his transgender partner – a male-to-female trans named Lance “Luna” Twiggs.

The FBI used Robinson’s texts with his transgender partner to solidify that Robinson was the assassin. Lance Twiggs has not been charged with any crime; however, federal authorities are still investigating.

Last week, Utah authorities released the text exchange between Tyler Robinson and his transgender lover, Lance Twiggs, sent shortly after Kirk’s assassination.

Utah County District Attorney Jeff Gray announced seven charges against Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson. They will also be seeking the death penalty.

Robinson was charged with:

– Count 1: Aggravated murder (capital offense)
– Count 2: Felony reckless discharge of a firearm causing bodily injury
– Count 3: Felony obstruction of justice for hiding the firearm
– Count 4: Felony obstruction of justice for discarding the clothing he wore during the shooting
– Count 5: Witness tampering for asking roommate to delete incriminating messages
– Count 6: Witness temperating for demanding trans roommate stay silent, and not speak to police
– Count 7: Commission of a violent offense in the presence of a child

Jeff Gray released the chilling texts between Tyler Robinson and his “love” Lance Twiggs.

Read the text exchange here:

Lance Twiggs was reportedly cooperating with the FBI, however, according to the Daily Mail he has seemingly vanished.

“If [Lance Twiggs] ever comes back, it will be in a body bag,” a neighbor said to the Daily Mail. “That’s not a threat – I’m just saying that there are so many people who want a piece of him he’d be mad to show his face in public again. This was a generational event.”

The Daily Mail reported:

The Trans boyfriend of Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin has fled their former lovenest – and locals tell the Daily Mail they never want to see him again.

Lance Twiggs, 22, was led away for questioning when police swooped on the smart three-bed condo he shared with accused gunman Tyler Robinson, 22.

Shaken neighbors say the part time plumber has not been back to the $320,000 property in St. George, Utah – one declaring: ‘Good riddance. I never want to see either of them again.’

His beaten-up Infinity compact is still parked in his space with his work gear tossed across the back seat and a sandwich wrapper and a drink on the front passenger seat.

Upstairs lights have been left on for more than a week and notes and Amazon packages are piling up outside the home owned by Twiggs’s devout Mormon family.
