Victor Davis Hanson- Reactionary, Neo-Confederate Portland.  Everywhere Islam gains power, Civilization collapses. 5 X Clips. Everywhere Islam gains power, Civilization collapses Victor Davis Hanson- Reactionary, Neo-Confederate Portland Post Islam Invasion  @IslamInvasion “Peace when weak, conquest when strong.” The pattern is clear, patience until power, then submission by force. Fourteen hundred years prove it, Sharia does not knock, it takes.   Post Bob @Shariakill Everywhere Islam gain power, Civilization collapse   Reactionary, Neo-Confederate Portland 16 Comments / October 6, 2025 Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness In blue cities across America—Portland, Oregon, especially—often violent protesters now seek to surround ICE facilities to stop federal officers from fulfilling their assigned and legal duties of arresting illegal aliens. Some 10 million or more illegal aliens were allowed to enter the U.S. during the Biden years—illegally and thus without criminal or health checks. Neither Antifa nor liberal urban America objected to such a flagrant disregard for the law. But both are now as intent on obstructing the legal enforcement of the law as they were earlier in favor of its illegal non-enforcement. Much less did they care about the consequences of sending millions of foreign nationals into cities and counties where they swamped social services, spiked crime, and flooded emergency rooms and schools. ICE has repeatedly presented data that show in its first rounds of deportations, it is concentrating on removing either criminal illegal aliens or those who have already been processed with deportation orders, somewhere between 70 and 90 percent of all current apprehensions. No matter. Left-wing protesters are swarming ICE headquarters in Portland to violently oppose all deportations, even those of known criminals and those who have already exhausted efforts to remain here illegally. Why? The Democratic Party apparat knows that the public wants both secure borders and deportations of illegal aliens. Indeed, in part, it lost an election by its open-borders advocacy. But Democrat officials feel that if street thugs like Antifa can surround and besiege ICE facilities in Portland, Oregon, then deportations will stop. Then, a de facto amnesty will follow for millions who entered the U.S. illegally—and will soon become Democratic constituents. As a result, they do not fully enforce the law when thugs attack federal law enforcement. Antifa and its spin-off groups favor the night, when they try to block all entries and exits of ICE vehicles and personnel, and can commit their violence with greater anonymity. The masked rioters assault anyone in their way. They count on exemption from punishment for committing violence against federal officers through the goodwill or indifference of kindred local and state officials who hate the Trump administration more than they respect the law. An Orwellian scenario follows in which federal officers are attacked by Antifa, which in turn counts on the non-intervention of local police. Summed up: the city of Portland's armed officers are in a de facto proxy war with their federal counterparts—in our version of something out of 1860, on the eve of a real civil war. Portland Mayor Keith Wilson and Oregon Governor Tina Kotek feel their constituents want open borders and thus should have the right in their own city and state to do as they please—and federal law be damned. But by doing so, both the Democrat Party officialdom and the street armies of Antifa are on the proverbial wrong side of history. America for almost 200 years has already decided, in formal law and court rulings, that no local or state entity can disrupt the enforcement of federal laws or usurp Washington's powers. To do so with impunity would unravel the American nation in short order. We know that from our own violent history. Andrew Jackson, in 1832, like Trump, threatened to send troops to stop South Carolina's nullification of federal tariff laws. America fought a Civil War over Confederate states' efforts to ignore federal law and confiscate or occupy federal property within their state jurisdictions. As late as 1963, Alabama Governor George Wallace thought he could nullify federal law by using his state guard to deny black students' enrollment in the University of Alabama—until the Kennedy administration federalized all state troopers and sent in additional federal troops. So what we are witnessing in Portland—and elsewhere—is a neo-Confederate attempt to supersede federal law and, in reactionary fashion, invoke states' and cities' rights. Oregon and Portland believe that they are more moral than the federal government and thus have a natural right to side with street mobs by both not enforcing their own laws against Antifa violence and ignoring the innate civil rights of ICE personnel. The latter are denied freedom of movement, association, and the ability to fulfill their job duties by what has turned out to be a near city-sanctioned siege of their facilities. The Democrats are fine with all this. They think the violence against ICE will be portrayed daily as general chaos by their allied media. Thus, the proverbial people who keep clear of the siege and its detritus will simply want all the bother to go away—and supposedly blame those enforcing, not breaking, the law. In sum, the Democratic Party is the official face of the left. Antifa provides the street shock troops, and the media serves as its propaganda arm. So, the left-wing logic is to allow the violence and siege to continue in a “safe space” for Antifa. A strapped ICE will supposedly eventually shut down operations and move on. And any violence that occurs can be chalked up to Trump's federal government “baiting” Portlanders. The reigning moralistic assumption is that ceding territory to terrorists, not enforcing local and state laws, and nullifying federal statutes are all small prices to pay for the larger projection of chaos and violence that can be blamed on Trump. Such thinking entails utter indifference to any Portlanders who live near the siege and are nightly subjected to constant disruptions, harassment, and occasional violence. Do these law-abiding residents have fewer civil rights than the lawbreaking armies of the night? In contrast, the use of federal troops to stop the siege of ICE facilities will remind the violent protesters of the left that their neo-Confederate tactics will not work, but instead subject them to arrest and federal indictments. Bringing in federal forces to uphold the law will also protect the rights of ICE personnel and neighborhood residents to live in peace and security and have their constitutional protections secured. Not all American citizens are Portlanders, but all Portland citizens are Americans. In other words, both Antifa and the appeasing Oregon officials are our new neo-Confederate secessionists. They feel that their states are now autonomous entities that are still entitled to federal money but not obligated to follow federal laws. Portland also reminds us of the recent utter incoherence of Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass. On the one hand, she pleads for federal dollars to restore her city's burned-out neighborhoods due to her own incompetence and neglect, while on the other hand actively obstructs the federal government from enforcing immigration laws in her own city. For a party that has been quick to shout “insurrection,” it is ironic that Democrats and their useful, though violent, Antifa insurrectionists are in rebellion against the federal government and its agents. It is hard to know which is worse—the Antifa thug who nightly tries to injure a federal officer, or the sanctimonious neo-Confederate official who empowers him to keep trying?

Earlier this year, a tweet went out from the official account of the Democratic Party, tagging the Trump advisor Stephen Miller. It was an image of what appeared to be a simple hotel room chair. But for those in the know, it was much more than that: It was a “cuck chair,” an online meme straight out of a popular genre of hardcore pornography in which a man watches his partner have sex with another man. How did we get to a place where the Democrats could flame a political opponent with an image out of cucking porn and have millions of people immediately understand it? In this episode we trace the complicated and intricate history of the cuck. It's a history that includes everything from Jacobean dramas to World War II pilots to, yes, pornography, as well as a host of deeply American prejudices that have become a lot less submerged over the last 10 years. And we also situate the cuck within a larger context, one in which porn is the elephant in the room of American culture. It's a potent force, shaping and reflecting our very wants and desires and it is constantly seeping into mainstream culture—and yet we don't analyze, critique, or even talk about it very much because, well, it's porn. In this NSFW episode, you'll hear from: Slate staff writer Luke Winkie who wrote about the tweet that kicked this episode off; Samantha Cole, one of co-founders of 404 Media and the author of How Sex Changed the Internet and the Internet Changed Sex;  Jennifer Panek, professor of English at the University of Ottawa; sex therapist and clinical psychologist Dr. David S. Ley; Dr. Justin Lehmiller, social psychologist, senior research fellow at the Kinsey Institute, and podcast host; Mireille Miller-Young, associate professor of feminist studies at UC Santa Barbara and the author of A Taste for Brown Sugar: Black Women in Pornography, and New York Magazine tech columnist John Herrman.  This episode was written by Willa Paskin. It was edited by Josh Levin and produced by Katie Shepherd, Willa Paskin, Max Freedman, and Evan Chung, Decoder Ring's supervising producer. Merritt Jacob is Senior Technical Director, and we had help from Sophie Summergrad. We'd also like to thank Gabriel Roth, Talia Lavin, Tatum Hunter, Rebecca Fasman, Jessica Stoya, Aiden Starr, Perrin Swanmoore, Sophie Gilbert, and Kevin Heffernan, who was a fount of knowledge.  If you have any cultural mysteries you want us to decode, email us at DecoderRing@slate.com or leave a message on our hotline at (347) 460-7281.

1. The “Schumer Shutdown” We begin with the ongoing government shutdown as the fault of Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and the Democratic Party. They claim Democrats are panicking and have no political “off-ramp,” predicting that the standoff will end with “complete capitulation” from Democrats. The conversation includes discussion of polling data (allegedly showing poor favorability ratings for Democrats), arguments that Democrats are “weak” and “extreme,” and mockery of Democratic leaders through AI-generated memes that portray them wearing sombreros and mustaches. Cruz and Ferguson frame the situation as a political win for Republicans, portraying Democrats as incoherent and divided, and suggesting that the shutdown reveals the public’s indifference to big government. 2. The Brett Kavanaugh Assassination Attempt and Sentencing The second segment focuses on a federal judge’s sentencing of Nicholas Roske, who had plotted to assassinate Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. Cruz and Ferguson express outrage over what they claim was an unjustly lenient eight-year sentence, arguing that it reflects “left-wing bias” and preferential treatment because the assailant was transgender. They sharply criticize Judge Deborah Boardman, a Biden appointee, for what they call “ideological” leniency, with Cruz suggesting she should be impeached. The hosts expand the issue into a broader critique of Democratic “soft-on-crime” policies and claim a cultural double standard favoring certain identities (e.g., transgender individuals). The conversation also ties the Kavanaugh incident to Democratic rhetoric, suggesting it encourages “left-wing violence.” Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

The media loves to paint political violence as “right-wing,” but the truth is far more complex. In this episode of The P.A.S. Report, Professor Nick Giordano dismantles the lazy labels used by academics and pundits to smear conservatives and Republicans. He explains why Nazism and white supremacy are statist, collectivist ideologies that have nothing in common with conservatism or Republicanism, exposes how the left inflates political violence statistics to claim the moral high ground, and reveals where the real radicalism is going mainstream, socialism and Marxist thought within the Democratic Party. Episode Highlights The truth about “right-wing violence” and how academics and media distort the numbers. Why Nazism and white supremacy are statist, authoritarian ideologies—not conservative or Republican. How socialism and Marxist ideas have gone mainstream in today's Democratic Party while conservatives reject extremism.

We take up Trump's shifting rhetoric, which has started with false and racist claims about undocumented immigrants receiving benefits and now seems to be about gloating over austerity. We also discuss the Democratic Party's response, and the way the base of the party has forced the leadership to take a stronger stance.

In this episode of Passing Judgment, host Jessica Levinson is joined by Politico's Nicholas Wu to break down the causes and consequences of the ongoing government shutdown. They discuss how partisan divides, failed budget talks, and the Senate filibuster have led to a halt in government services and potential spikes in healthcare costs. Nicholas shares what this means for everyday Americans, the political strategies on both sides, and why the shutdown could last for weeks. Tune in for a clear explanation of how we got here, what's happening now, and what may come next on Capitol Hill.Here are three key takeaways you don't want to miss:1. How the Government Shutdown Happened: Nicholas Wu lays out the basic process of government funding through appropriations bills in Congress. He explains that both the House and Senate Appropriations Committees are supposed to agree on funding for each agency by September 30th. This year, they failed to come to an agreement, and attempts at a stopgap measure (a continuing resolution) fell through, triggering the shutdown.2. Partisan Gridlock & Narrow Legislative Majorities: A recurring theme is the impact of narrow majorities in Congress and the difficulties that creates for reaching agreements. Wu highlights that with such close margins, especially in the Senate due to the filibuster rule, bipartisan cooperation is necessary but often lacking. The lack of communication between parties and between Congress and the White House is also emphasized as fueling the stalemate.3. Impact of the Shutdown on Everyday Americans: The conversation shifts to what the shutdown actually means for federal services and the public. Wu notes that the effect varies depending on where people interact with the federal government. Essential services (like air traffic control) keep running, but might do so without pay, while some non-essential services are halted, affecting federal workers and potentially local economies.Follow Our Host: @LevinsonJessica

The establishment and the leadership of my new political party just doesn't get this moment. Just doesn't understand the unique threat we face right now. So…it's time for the Democratic Party establishment to get out of the way. And it's time for the Democratic Party grassroots to lead the way. Fascinating conversation with long time Democratic consultant & strategist, Julie Roginzky. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Jesse Arm, Charles Fain Lehman, and Rafael Mangual discuss the recent government shutdown and the role of the filibuster in shaping legislative outcomes. They analyze tensions in the Democratic Party between radical grassroots movements and centrist pragmatism. And they examine the rise of the “abundance bros” and what this techno-optimist movement says about our current politics.

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four Tuesday takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. The Kick Ass Standard President Trump’s announcement on prescription drug pricing, revealing that Pfizer will now offer medications at “most favored nation” prices, a move aimed at reducing costs for American consumers. Clay then shifts to a fiery cultural debate sparked by Secretary of War Pete Hegseth’s speech to military leaders, emphasizing a return to strict physical standards and meritocracy in the U.S. Armed Forces. Hegseth rejects DEI mandates and insists on combat readiness over diversity quotas, sparking a broader conversation about whether elite positions in the military—or any field—should reflect demographics or prioritize performance. Clay uses examples from Olympic basketball and the National Spelling Bee to argue that excellence rarely mirrors population diversity and that merit should always come first. Golden Handcuffs An in-depth discussion on JK Rowling’s viral takedown of Emma Watson and the gender ideology debate. Clay praises Rowling’s courage in standing against what she calls “gender insanity,” reading excerpts from her powerful statement that has garnered tens of millions of views. He challenges wealthy and influential Americans to show similar bravery in defending truth and common sense. OK Sen. Markwayne Mullin Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullin does a deep dive into the budget impasse, blaming Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer for obstructing a “clean CR” (Continuing Resolution) due to pressure from progressive challengers like AOC. Mullin outlines the shutdown’s impact on military pay, federal employees, and mandatory vs. discretionary spending, while criticizing continued COVID-era healthcare subsidies and Obamacare enrollment for undocumented immigrants—a $350 billion taxpayer burden, he claims. Mullin and Travis assert that Donald Trump’s 2024 landslide victory was a rejection of socialism and far-left policies. They argue the Democratic Party is now led by figures like Bernie Sanders, Ilhan Omar, and Jasmine Crockett, and suffering an identity crisis. Mullin also praises military fitness standards, referencing Pete Seth’s call for accountability among generals, and shares his own leadership philosophy rooted in discipline and example-setting. House Majority Leader Steve Scalise Congressman and House Majority Leader Steve Scalise joins the show to reflect on the Charlie Kirk shooting, drawing parallels to his own experience as a victim of political violence in 2017. Scalise emphasizes the importance of civil discourse, condemns cancel culture, and highlights the resilience of Turning Point USA, which has seen over 50,000 students express interest in launching chapters. He praises Erica Kirk’s commitment to continuing Charlie’s legacy and notes a religious revival among youth inspired by Kirk’s faith. Scalise also discusses the House-passed funding bill, warning that Schumer and the far-left are pushing a shutdown out of political spite. He urges Democrats to prioritize governance over ideological battles. The hour closes with Scalise’s thoughts on LSU football, NIL funding, and the electrifying experience of Saturday nights in Tiger Stadium, complete with Cajun tailgating and Garth Brooks anthems.
