  • Politico: Tax The Rich? Executives Predict Biden’s Big Plans Will Flop

    Occidental Dissent - May 17th 2021 10:38am EDT

    We’ve also dismissed Joe Biden’s populist posturing.

The business community is dismissing the threat. Corporate executives and lobbyists in Washington, New York and around the country say they […]

  • Jacobin: We Can’t Cancel Ourselves Into a Better World

    Occidental Dissent - May 17th 2021 9:50am EDT

    I would probably also be labeled a “far-right propagandist.” Jacobin: “Changing that reality is immensely difficult. But it’s easy enough to get a Democratic Socialists of America convention to enforce rules as extreme as prohibiting clapping during debate in the name of accommodating the disabled — something that resulted in a notorious montage of clips […]

    Occidental Dissent - May 16th 2021 8:44pm EDT

    If Donald Trump had done this as president, I would have probably voted for him in 2020. We have no business being in any of these countries.

  • Michael Tracey: “America First” Conservatives Declare: “Actually, We Meant Israel First”

    Occidental Dissent - May 16th 2021 6:27pm EDT

    Michael Tracey isn’t wrong about this. Michael Tracey: “Whenever there’s an outbreak of deadly violence in Israel-Palestine, a very similar dynamic plays out; although in this instance it’s concentrated in different sectors of society. While a handful of Republicans joined in on the “Much Work To Be Done” refrain after the Chauvin trial, cultural left/liberals […]

    Occidental Dissent - May 16th 2021 3:55pm EDT

    I recently had an old friend and longtime commentator here contact me about this very issue.

    According to the Stew Leonard’s CEO, rising consumer prices are being caused by 1.) the burst in the economy, 2.) the labor force due to workers staying home and 3.) increased corn exports to China and the rise in fuel prices. It is costing more to transport goods around the country.

  • Poll: Wokeness Killed The Labour Party

    Occidental Dissent - May 16th 2021 1:28pm EDT

    At least on this issue, Tony Blair was right. That’s what you call a bitter pill to swallow for the Left. Daily Mail: “Sir Keir Starmer’s Labour Party is out of touch with public opinion on woke issues, a Mail on Sunday poll has found. The survey revealed that the party was overwhelmingly associated with support […]

    Occidental Dissent - May 15th 2021 4:35pm EDT

    It was a hoax. Washington Post: “The Rev. Robert W. Lee IV, known as Rob, has, since 2016, parlayed his ancestry on behalf of what many may regard as a noble cause — removing Confederate statues and memorials. The pastor stood with Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam when the governor announced last June, in the wake of […]

    Occidental Dissent - May 15th 2021 2:37pm EDT

    In Portland, they have succeeded in “reimagining” policing, which is why their downtown has been trashed and overrun with anarchists, homeless people, drug addicts and criminals.

    Occidental Dissent - May 15th 2021 12:45pm EDT

    This is where the libs are at now. They are begging corporate donors to “stand up for democracy” by cutting off their donations to Republican politicians in order to teach the voters a lesson. They want Corporate America to bully state legislatures. Boston Globe: “Just four months ago, after losing the presidential election, the former […]

  • Jesus Statue Toppled, American Flag Burned At Catholic Church In Brooklyn

    Occidental Dissent - May 15th 2021 11:45am EDT

    Impeccable timing. This occurred less than 24 hours after Joe Biden gave the signal to his base that he was on the side of Antifa mobs who topple statues. FOX News: “ A statue of Jesus was smashed and an American flag burned outside a Catholic church in Brooklyn — in what cops are calling a possible […]

  • The Garden of True American Heroes

    Occidental Dissent - May 14th 2021 11:41pm EDT

    Donald Trump’s “National Guardian of American Heroes” was cringe. Maybe it wasn’t such a bad idea though. The concept of honoring our ancestors in the public square in our to inspire future generations has merit. Who are the great Americans who you would honor in a based version of the National Guardian of American Heroes? […]

  • Joe Biden Cancels Trump’s Garden of American Heroes

    Occidental Dissent - May 14th 2021 10:43pm EDT

    Donald Trump’s “Garden of American Heroes” was always a hokey face saving token gesture to nationalist and populist voters who were enraged by the destruction of hundreds of our historic monuments by Antifa and BLM mobs. It would have cost Joe Biden nothing politically to let it stand. Everything that Donald Trump did as president […]

  • Washington Post: Grievance, Rebellion and Burnt Bridges: Tracing Josh Hawley’s Path To The Insurrection

    Occidental Dissent - May 14th 2021 8:25pm EDT

  • Rising: Joe Scarborough Calls Glenn Greenwald ‘Russian Agent’ In Fiery Exchange

    Occidental Dissent - May 14th 2021 6:47pm EDT

    It is amazing that the Trump era changed left/right views and alliances on virtually every major issue: not all but most. Yet, nothing has changed when it comes to Israel/Palestine/US. The debate is exactly the same as it was in 1994 and 2005 and 2014: same sides, same arguments. — Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) May 14, […]

  • Axios: Crime Jumps After Court-Ordered Policing Changes

  • Poll: Joe Biden’s Expansion of Refugee Admissions Is Unpopular With Bulk of Voters

    Occidental Dissent - May 14th 2021 4:32pm EDT

    Joe Biden didn’t want to do this. He caved to the pressure of “journalists” and progressive activists in spite of his own better judgment. Predictably, refugee resettlement is an issue that cuts against the Biden coalition with moderates, Independents, some Democrats and suburbanites. The same is true of immigration policy where all the polls consistently […]
