  • MSNBC: Authors Debate Ending All COVID Restrictions

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 12th 2022 11:52am EST

    This is the current state of the COVID debate. Joe Biden and Justin Trudeau have tried to polarize their countries along vaccinated vs. unvaccinated lines for the sole purpose of driving a favorable political wedge. The problem is that the most salient divide on COVID post-Omicron is now between the “vaxxed and done” moderates who […]

  • Arizona Senate Candidate Jim Lamon Releases Another Funny Ad

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 11th 2022 1:21pm EST

    This is the same guy who cut the Let’s Go Brandon ad. It is long shot candidates on both sides making these ads.

  • CNN: A Grim Portrait of Biden’s Unhappy America

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 11th 2022 11:39am EST

    No one could have imagined this. We’ve only been consistently saying that we dislike the American Empire for the past 30 years. The political establishment, of course, ignored our grievances which were dismissed as “racism.” CNN: A year ago, the pundit class was ecstatic. We were in a “new progressive era.” Joe Biden was FDR. […]

  • Greg Gutfeld: NPR’s Emoji Issue

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 11th 2022 11:00am EST

    It has gotten to the point where I am laughing at Greg Gutfeld’s content. I had the same realization yesterday. As a White male, have I offended any BIPOC people by using the yellow thumbs up emoji?

  • Tucker Carlson: Justin Trudeau Is Attacking Human Rights

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 10th 2022 9:13pm EST

    I wrote a brief explainer of what’s happening in Ottawa, & why it’s a red flag for mobilization around protests around the world in the years to come: https://t.co/JknMvu9bEz — Dr. Cynthia Miller-Idriss (@milleridriss) February 9, 2022 This is the weaponization of freedom against democracy.

  • Tim Pool: Marjorie Taylor Greene Discusses Civil War and National Divorce

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 10th 2022 6:55pm EST

    Hunter, You’re comparing apples and oranges. These trends aren’t reminiscent of late 19th century America. The rhetoric is not becoming more bonkers on both sides as we continue to spiral toward whatever resolves this crisis.

  • Poll Watch: 56% of Americans Say Joe Biden Has Done Nothing For Them

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 10th 2022 12:09pm EST

    CNN: 56% of Americans say “NOTHING” when asked what President Biden has done that they approve of. “Look at how bad these numbers are.” pic.twitter.com/8CUbwT1xme — RNC Research (@RNCResearch) February 10, 2022 CNN poll: 58% of Americans disapprove of Joe Biden 56% of Americans say he has done NOTHING that they approve of. pic.twitter.com/CksQDFDLZS — […]

  • Washington Post: The Fight Isn’t Over Whether America Will Be a Democracy, But What Kind of Democracy

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 10th 2022 10:26am EST

    The banner is a little edgier than usual this morning. I thought it was an amusing way of illustrating though what we think the modern Democratic Party is all about. Woke progressivism has become the governing ideology of the new Democratic Party. The central truth of woke progressivism is that Black people (now capitalized) ought […]

  • Tucker Carlson: The Science Has Changed

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 9th 2022 10:13pm EST

    This isn’t the first time the science has surprised us. Most famously, the science changed around the time of the George Floyd riots when the mobs emerged from the lockdowns to engage in a righteous orgy of violence with the blessing of public health officials. Then it changed again last May when the CDC lifted […]

  • Poll Watch: New Poll Shows Drop In Public Blaming Trump For 1/6

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 9th 2022 5:06pm EST

    I’m going out on a limb here. These people haven’t watched all 380 episodes of Chris Hayes’ non-stop 1/6 coverage over the past year. Also, the fight against misinformation, disinformation and malinformation is being lost. Note: Take a look at this. Joe has dropped to a new low.

  • New York Times: Ugly Freedoms

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 5th 2022 12:07pm EST

    The New York Times published a very important new op-ed this morning which is highly relevant to our current debates about so-called “free speech” and the rights of non-experts. There are beautiful freedoms and ugly freedoms. The ability of someone like Donald Trump to reach a mass audience on social media is an ugly freedom. […]

  • Tucker Carlson: Censor Rogan!

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 3rd 2022 9:03am EST

    Liberalism is dead. Woke progressivism is the new governing ideology of the Democratic Party. The “illiberal Right” devotes much of its time these days to pointing out how liberal institutions like the New York Times or The Atlantic were conquered from within by young leftists.

  • Jacobin: The Supreme Court Is an Antidemocratic Monstrosity. We Should Break Its Power.

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 2nd 2022 12:40pm EST

    Very important development. It turns out that the Supreme Court is an enemy of “our democracy.” Jacobin: “When Stephen Breyer announced his retirement from the Supreme Court last week, liberals rejoiced that a Democratic president would appoint his successor. You’d think, observing this joyful outburst, that some important turning point in the court’s political composition […]

  • Poll Watch: 61% of Americans Think Joe Biden Is Too Old To Be President

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 1st 2022 5:49pm EST

    LMAO. Read ’em and weep. Washington Examiner:

  • TAC: An American Breakup

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 31st 2022 6:04pm EST

    I had a good laugh reading this one. It seems like we all perceive the same problem. TAC: “Why do I bring all of this up? Because given what I’m about to say I want to make it clear that I’m not trying to rehash the Civil War. On the contrary. My ancestors came to […]

  • Team Blue Breaks Their Brains Over Joe Rogan

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 31st 2022 11:13am EST

    Liberalism is dead. It was killed by these people. Personally, I don’t care that Joe Rogan has a podcast. I don’t care that he has conversations with people like Alex Jones or Alex Berenson and shares his takes on his own platform. I don’t agree with all of his takes which do include misinformation. I […]

  • Students Value Free Speech, But Feel Theirs Is Threatened

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 30th 2022 1:40pm EST

    The president has already been canceled. Members of Congress have been canceled. The woke mob is currently trying to cancel Joe Rogan who has the largest media platform in the country over “misinformation.” If Trump and Rogan can be canceled, no one is safe. Note: Thomas Main would say that illiberalism is a tiny problem […]

  • Elie Mystal: I’m For Everybody Black

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 29th 2022 9:06pm EST

    Elie Mystal is a national treasure. The only thing that matters to him is that Joe Biden is nominating a black woman to the Supreme Court. Race is everything in his worldview. It is all he ever talks about. Note: It would never occur to me to support Joe Biden simply because he is a […]

  • Tim Pool: The GOP Fears Being Called Racist

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 29th 2022 11:35am EST

    Tim Pool, the Boomer Whisperer, is correct about this. The GOP acts like the “mainstream media” still exists. They act like their voters care about the norms. They act like “journalists” are still taken seriously by their base. It is a reflexive reaction to punches that may have landed thirty years ago. Joe Biden went […]

  • CNN: #DeleteSpotify Goes Viral After Joe Rogan’s Podcast Draws Criticism

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 28th 2022 1:12pm EST

    I pretty much covered this in the previous article. This new Twitter-based campaign to cancel Spotify for refusing to deplatform Joe Rogan whose audience dwarfs the CNN audience really says it all. There are no “guardrails” anymore. As James Carville said yesterday, it is another example of a tiny faction of the Democratic Party and […]

  • Henry Olsen: Democrats Could Get Blown Out Even Worse Than 2021

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 26th 2022 8:49pm EST

    Yes, this is important. Brandon’s approval rating has dived even further since the 2021 elections. Jack Ciattarelli could have won in New Jersey with a little stronger backlash. Washington Post: “Consider these facts: Biden won the 2020 popular vote by 4.5 percentage points, but on election day 2021, his net job approval rating on the RealClearPolitics polling […]

  • Poll Watch: Black People, “Latinx,” Suburban Women Are Unimpressed With Joe Biden

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 26th 2022 6:32pm EST

    URGENT. We need more 1/6 coverage. Newsweek: “The poll found that 41 percent of African Americans believed their lives were the same, 33 percent believed they were better off and 25 percent said they were worse off.

  • Spotify Pulls Neil Young’s Music After Failed Attempt To Cancel Joe Rogan

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 26th 2022 5:56pm EST

    LMAO. Neil Young has exactly one accomplishment in life. Hollywood Reporter: “Spotify is in the process of removing Neil Young’s catalog of music from its service after the artist published — then took down — an open letter with an ultimatum: Deal with the vaccine misinformation coming from Joe Rogan’s podcast, or lose Young’s music. Two days after […]

  • USA Today: Fringe Ideas Are Going Mainstream In U.S. Politics

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 26th 2022 2:38pm EST

    Ideas once considered fringe — including white supremacist propaganda and absurd, disproven conspiracy theories — are increasingly being embraced by mainstream politicians, to an extent never seen before according to some experts.#Latest for @USATODAYhttps://t.co/YNlX3JxIWz — Will Carless (@willcarless) January 26, 2022 Amazing how much we are talking about banning books in this country when *this* […]

  • DEMOCRACY IN PERIL: Civil War 2 Edition

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 26th 2022 12:11pm EST

    Josh Barro observed the other day that “the conversation that gets erroneously called a “national conversation” — conducted among select journalists, operatives, activists and academics — is essentially a conversation by and for people who supported Elizabeth Warren.” I’ve been watching this play out inside the Acela Corridor Bubble. Barbara Walter, the Civil War 2 […]
