The Left is ‘Bleeding Kansas’ October 27, 2025 Victor Davis Hanson In the late 1850s, “Bleeding Kansas” was the term used to describe the escalating cycle of violence, when surrogates for the Union and soon-to-be Confederacy fought each other over whether Kansas would be admitted as a free or slave-owning state. As the assaults and killings increased, radicals set the agenda. The logical next step was the nightmares of Fort Sumter and Bull Run. Those calling for restraint and peaceful resolutions were considered weak and traitorous. The thuggish and violent, instead, were praised as the true idealists and patriots, the real “base” of their respective parties. We have witnessed a growing wave of left-wing assassins and would-be assassins in the last few years: James Hodgkinson, Luigi Mangione, James Crooks, Ryan Routh, Elias Rodriguez, and Tyler Robinson, who have targeted Republican House leaders, CEOs, Donald Trump, Jews, and Charlie Kirk. For months, leftists vandalized or torched anything to do with the Tesla brand, and with virtual impunity, they sometimes went after individual Tesla owners. Jews walked in the shadows on campuses, where mobs cheered Hamas killers. From June through October 2020, Antifa- and BLM-led rioting led to 35 deaths, $2 billion in damage, 14,000 arrests, and 1,500 injured police. On January 6, violence left five dead, four from the protesting side. But whereas the federal government immediately and often excessively jailed both violent and peaceful 2021 protesters, almost all of the 14,000 protesters and rioters of 2020 were released by left-wing blue-city and federal prosecutors and judges. ICE officers and facilities remain under siege in a number of major cities. In this current left-wing legitimization of violence, the Democrat Party is now embracing an eerie channeling of an earlier, pre- and post-Confederate ethos. Nonstop Democrat grandees call for their resistance to hit the street, if need be, to go lower than the “gutter,” and to “let your rage fuel you.” The demagogic, anti-ICE bluster of Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, California Governor Gavin Newsom, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, Oregon Governor Tina Kotek, and Portland Mayor Keith Wilson is nullificationist and state-rights supremacy to the core. New York mayoral candidate Zoran Mamdani, in the spirit of Jefferson Davis, recently summed up the left’s resistance best, bragging that he hoped to disconnect New York local governance from federal government authority entirely—at least in the obligatory rather than beneficiary sense. But do not left-wing states’ righters also applaud rogue lower-court federal judges who create and apply all sorts of edicts to stop the enforcement of federal law? https://victorhanson.com/the-left-is-bleeding-kansas/

IN THE END, THE LEFT ONLY GASLIGHTS ITSELF: Mind-Boggling: America’s statues “weren’t desecrated or destroyed” — The Left Is Rewriting Its Mobs Tearing Down of Statues to Only a Desire to Put Them “into museums to commemorate the fallen during the Civil War”. https://no-pasaran.blogspot.com/2025/10/mind-boggling-americas-statues-werent.html Devoid of their full on control over all media and communication, they can’t make their alternate history stick anymore.

LOBBYIST MILLIONS BEHIND SCHUMER SHUTDOWN: The familiar maxim about following the money to figure out what’s really happening in politics is perfectly illustrated by examining the millions being spent by healthcare insurers to protect those “temporary” Obamacare tax credits that generate billions of tax dollars in income for them. https://washingtonstand.com/article/massive-lobbying-dollars-aid-health-care-insurers-protect-their-obamacare-jackpot

DARK BRANDON IS BACK, BABY!

Trump Derangement Syndrome has morphed into something far more lethal — Trump Projection Disorder By Miranda Devine Democrats have lost their minds. This time last year, the conversation was about what is the acceptable number of apartment complexes in Colorado that we can tolerate being taken over by Venezuelan gangs of illegal migrants. Now the big issue is the president’s big, beautiful ballroom. The “No Kings” folk are melting down. In just two days last week, there were 10,000 comments on The Washington Post’s website railing against the ballroom, which is being built at a cost to the taxpayer of zero dollars. “I can’t wait for the day they hold Trump’s funeral in that gaudy ballroom,” was a typical “recommended” comment from someone calling herself CindyintheSuburbs. Donald Trump is living inside their heads. If you thought Trump Derangement Syndrome was bad in the president’s first term, you ain’t seen nothing yet. This time around, it’s morphed into something far more lethal. Like a wounded animal that’s been cornered, electorally challenged Democrats are desperate and dangerous. They make TDS look like a quaint affectation. In the spirit of “If you can’t beat him, join him,” they’re trying to imitate Trump, but they’re imitating a foul-mouthed cartoon villain version of a Hitlerian dictator that they have convinced themselves he is. TDS Redux has become Trump Projection Disorder. Everything they’ve accused him of being they’ve now become, Nazi tattoos and all. https://nypost.com/2025/10/26/opinion/miranda-devine-trump-derangement-syndrome-has-morphed-into-something-far-more-lethal-trump-projection-disorder/

Over the last 5 days, agencies terminated and descoped 97 wasteful contracts with a ceiling value of $2.3B and savings of $160M, including an $8.7M USAGM broadcasting contract for “FM and television broadcast operations in Iraq, Libya, and Chad” and a $19.5M HHS contract for “Diversity, Equity and Inclusion training”.

Lord knows I don't want Josh hurt, but on some scrambles I wish he would just take the five yards and slide rather than expose himself to those hits while he is throwing off balance.

Trump signs peace and trade deals ending conflict between Cambodia and Thailand — rips UN: ‘Didn’t get involved’ New York Post, by Steven Nelson President Trump blasted the United Nations for not being more involved in ending wars as he signed peace and trade deals Sunday with the leaders of Cambodia, Thailand and Malaysia — with the three nations pledging to boost US economic ties in exchange for lower tariffs. Trump, 79, said a peace accord formalizing the truce that he brokered in July may save “millions of lives” in the two Southeast Asian nations, which were represented by their prime ministers at the ceremony in the Malaysian capital. “Millions of people are alive today because of this peace treaty,” Trump declare https://nypost.com/2025/10/26/us-news/trump-signs-peace-and-trade-deals-ending-conflict-between-cambodia-and-thailand-rips-un-didnt-get-involved/

Senator Mark Kelly's Desperate Ploy: Boosting a Butchered Karoline Leavitt Clip with Zero Shame Admittedly, AI is sometimes hard to determine, but once a siting US Senator is made aware of a doctored video, maybe he should admit it and take it down. Apparently, Senator Mark Kelly is fine with signal boosting lies.

America Gets a Lecture on Christianity From Noted Biblical Scholar ... Jimmy Kimmel? One of the most entertaining things we come across often on social media is anti-theists lecturing Christians on what it means to be a good Christian. They have no idea what they're talking about, of course, but they mistakenly think they can use Christianity as a cudgel against people of faith. But a close second are the 'a la carte' Catholics, who think they can pick and choose what they believe and still call themselves Catholic. Two famous examples in Washington are Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi, who support abortion for any reason whatsoever (let alone at all) and want taxpayers to fund it up to and including the point of birth. Similarly, Jimmy Kimmel likes to tell everyone that he was raised Catholic and hilariously believes that means anything when we see him live his life not at all in accordance with the doctrine of the Catholic Church. Recently, he appeared on Ted Danson's podcast (Ted Danson has a podcast?) to lecture Christians and scold them that Jesus wouldn't approve of enforcing immigration law. Watch: We'd love to see Kimmel try to pull this tired, lame stunt with someone like Michael Knowles, where he would have to defend his position by citing Scripture. He never will, obviously, because he knows nothing about the Gospels or what Jesus taught. It just sounds good to him and makes him believe he is the good guy. https://twitchy.com/grateful-calvin/2025/10/24/blasphemer-maga-gets-a-lecture-on-christianity-from-noted-biblical-scholar-jimmy-kimmel-n2420821

There is evil in the world. There have been terrific steps forward toward saving the lives of the unborn since the Supreme Court overturned Roe Vs. Wade, but this is a heartbreaking setback. I know many people who were born (this) premature and are living productive lives.

You just can't make it up how corrupt this woman is.
