Common Sense From Senator Fetterman

Posted on by

On Saturday, The Daily Caller posted an article about some recent comments from Senator John Fetterman about the current state of the Democrat party. The world has turned upside down when John Fetterman and James Carville are the only Democrats telling the truth about what is happening in their party.

The article reports:

Fetterman tore into the socialist wing now ascending in Democratic ranks, though he told the New York Post this week he has no intention of bolting, for the moment. “I said months ago, I said the Democratic Party is becoming an orgy of socialism. These recent elections vindicate my description,” he told the outlet after Democratic Socialists of America candidates swept three New York House primaries.

Those Tuesday contests reshuffled the party’s New York delegation. Former city Comptroller Brad Lander unseated Rep. Dan Goldman in the 10th District, while doctoral student Darializa Avila Chevalier ousted Rep. Adriano Espaillat in the 13th, according to Roll Call. State Assemblywoman Claire Valdez captured the open 7th District seat. DSA backed two of the three, and all are favored to win in November given how blue their districts run.

Fetterman reserved his sharpest words for Avila Chevalier. “She wants to abolish the border, abolish prisons. That is a deeply disturbed individual,” he told the New York Post.

It should be mentioned that only 15 percent of New Yorkers voted in their primary elections–these results do not necessarily represent the views of a majority of New Yorkers. They might, but that is not a given. It will be interesting to see what percentage of New Yorkers turn out to vote for these candidates in November.

The article concludes:

A party switch remains on the table. “Even if I changed my party, my votes or views wouldn’t change,” he told the New York Post, pointing to a May column where he branded himself an independent voice.

His standing back home looks shaky. A Philadelphia Inquirer/Suffolk University poll of city residents pegged his favorability at 24 percent against a 43 percent unfavorable rating, far below Democratic Gov. Josh Shapiro’s 62 percent, the Inquirer reported.

The pressure may not ease. Chris Rabb, a self-described democratic socialist who won a Philadelphia House primary this spring, is already floated as a 2028 challenger.

A lot can change in two years.

A Very Perverted View Of Justice

Posted on by

On Friday, The Daily Signal posted an article about the murder of Yaron Lischinsky, 30, and Sarah Lynn Milgrim, 26, in Washington on May 21. Elias Rodriguez, a 31-year-old Illinois man, is the alleged murderer.

The article reports:

A segment of the Democratic Socialists of America has thrown its weight behind an open letter declaring that Elias Rodriguez, the alleged murderer of two Israeli embassy staff, was “fully justified” in killing the couple because he intended to prevent “genocide.”

The Palestinian activist group Tariq El-Tahrir released the letter Monday. The Democratic Socialists of America Liberation Caucus signed it, while other parts of the DSA condemned Rodriguez. Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a candidate for New York City mayor, condemned the letter and urged his opponents in the primary to do likewise.

“Elias Rodriguez’s targeted attack on two israeli diplomatic staff on May 21, 2025 was a legitimate act of resistance against the zionist state and its genocidal campaign in Gaza,” the letter states (the author appears to have intentionally lowercased both “Israeli” and “Zionist”). Rodriguez reportedly shouted, “Free Palestine,” and confessed to killing Yaron Lischinsky, 30, and Sarah Milgrim, 26, outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C.

The letter frames the shooting as a “fully justified” response to “twenty months of non-stop apocalyptic violence wrought by the zionist movement.” It accuses Israel of advancing a “supremacist world view” and “cementing the festering settler colony they have, temporarily, established on Palestinian land.” It claims international law sanctions violent attempts to prevent a “genocide.”

It is amazing to me that the people who are accusing Israel of genocide seem to overlook the events of October 7, 2023.

The article notes:

The Democratic Socialists of America did not support the letter, but one of the party’s caucuses, the Liberation Caucus, did.

“Excellent statement that we are proud to add our name to,” the DSA Liberation Caucus posted on X. “Free Elias Rodriguez and all political prisoners.”

Elias Rodriquez is not a political prisoner–he murdered two people in cold blood.

The article also reports:

The Democratic Socialists of America claims to have more than 92,000 members, following the presidential campaigns of Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt. The party endorsed many Democrat politicians, helping to secure victories for Reps. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., among others. Notably, the party withdrew its support for Ocasio-Cortez last year, citing her vote for a resolution affirming Israel’s “right to exist.”

The New York City DSA chapter condemned the violence of Rodriguez’s actions, but many DSA members condemned this denunciation of violence, The Free Press reported.

Political parties that justify murdering innocent people should not exist in America.
