  • Tucker Carlson: Black Lives Matter Has Sparked A Devastating Crime Wave In Urban America

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 29th 2021 10:13pm EDT

    Can the Republicans win non-White voters? Yes. Why did they make gains with non-White voters in 2020? It turns out that Republicans can with non-White voters, especially “Latinx” and Asian conservatives, without alienating White voters. The secret to doing this is to zero in on the “intersection” of political correctness and violent crime. Note: This […]

  • Poll: 64% of Americans See Cancel Culture As A Threat To Freedom

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 29th 2021 6:06pm EDT

    Hmm. Maybe the Republicans should go ALL IN and hammer the Democrats on this issue? I don’t think there is another culture war issue which has this much traction and potency. The Hill: “A majority of Americans say they view “cancel culture” as a threat to their freedom, according to a new Harvard CAPS-Harris Poll survey […]

  • Jacobin: Is Joe Biden Going To Be Our FDR?

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 29th 2021 3:13pm EDT

    I have soft spot for our former political allies. I, too, support most of the things that they talk about. If the Democrats were running solely on, say, student loan debt forgiveness or the PRO Act or organizing Amazon workers here in Alabama or stimulus checks or Universal Health Care or raising the minimum wage, […]

  • TAC: The Right Kind Of Realignment

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 29th 2021 12:25pm EDT

    Jack “The Cucked Avenger” Hunter is back with a brand new essay at The American Conservative on the realignment of the electorate and the future of the Right. TAC: “Such an agenda would be similar to how former Republican congressman and presidential candidate Ron Paul, who inspired a libertarian populist movement during the 2008 and […]

  • Poll: Joe Biden Gets Mixed Reviews On Immigration And The Border

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 29th 2021 10:29am EDT

    There is good news and bad news for Joe Biden in this poll. The good news which is in line with all the polling on the subject is that the public continues to approve of Joe’s handling of COVID and strongly support stimulus checks. Joe’s approval rating has GONE UP in this poll. Republicans continue […]

  • Chicago Times: Activists Want Nick Fuentes Kicked Off The Internet. It Might Be Impossible

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 29th 2021 8:17am EDT

    I’ve shared my thoughts on Nick Fuentes plenty of times. This article in the Chicago Tribune though is a reminder that we don’t have to personally like each other to have the same enemies and interests. We lost sight of that in the Trump era. Chicago Times: “For someone who has been deplatformed as thoroughly […]

  • Jen Psaki: The Border Remains Closed

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 28th 2021 3:33pm EDT

    The Biden administration is definitely taking a different approach to immigration than the Obama or Trump administrations. This is more like the Angela Merkel approach. Note: I don’t anticipate comprehensive immigration reform is going anywhere in the current session of Congress.

  • Dallas Morning News: America Needs A Strong, Compassionate Conservative Voice

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 28th 2021 12:49pm EDT

    Kenneth Hersh is the chief executive of the George W. Bush Presidential Center Dallas Morning News: “Freedom. Opportunity. Accountability. Compassion. It is time for the right side of the aisle to focus on timeless principles. As mortals, it is critical to understand our role is as mere custodians of these ideals. Men and women have […]

  • Poll: Biden Gets High Marks On COVID-19, Lags On Guns and Immigration

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 28th 2021 10:52am EDT

    Media: “You’re a far-right extremist”! Me: “No, I am a White moderate and an Independent swing voter. My political views are much closer to the Center than yours. I’m looking at our politics from the middle and you are a leftwing extremist. Your views on any number of subjects are far outside the actual mainstream.” […]

  • Jacobin: How The Democrats Became The Party of the Suburbs

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 27th 2021 8:57pm EDT

    I’m curious about this too. Why is Joe Biden being compared to FDR? The Democratic Party of 2021 has become what used to be the Republican Party. NY Mag: “One source of leftwing pessimism about Biden’s prospects for mounting a “transformational” presidency is the objective political and economic weakness of the American working class. When […]

  • Poll: The Art of the Comeback

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 27th 2021 7:57pm EDT

    It looks to me like the “Trump will fade” take that Julius Krein and others subscribed to isn’t holding up two months into the Biden era.

  • Poll: Record High Worry In U.S. About Hunger, Race Relations

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 27th 2021 3:13pm EDT

    Republicans lost control of the Senate because of that $600 stimulus check. They also lost control of the House because of Ryancare and the Trump tax cuts. Gallup: “WASHINGTON, D.C. — One year after the coronavirus pandemic upended Americans’ lives and caused an economic crisis, worry about hunger and homelessness in the country eclipses concerns […]

  • Bill Maher: Private Schools: Education or Indoctrination?

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 27th 2021 10:11am EDT

    There was another good discussion last night on Real Time with Bill Maher about the elite private schools which have been transformed into brat factories. They are pumping out the brats who are taking over America’s elite institutions. Eventually, we all know that they are going to deepen the polarization and create so much division […]

  • Tucker Carlson: The Military Brass Has Gone Woke

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 27th 2021 9:22am EDT

    Why are these generals never fired for insubordination? Why are we spending hundreds of billions of dollars on the military? It seems like progressives are more interested in using the military against us than in fighting and winning wars against any foreign adversary. Note: As with corporate tax cuts for Amazon or more guest workers […]

  • Jen Psaki: China Is Weaponizing Private Companies To Stifle Free Expression

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 27th 2021 12:06am EDT

  • Jen Psaki: The Filibuster Is Systematically Racist When Republicans Use It

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 26th 2021 6:22pm EDT

    Biden’s Press Secretary Jen Psaki highlights when Democrats used filibuster “last year” when saying it’s “abused”https://t.co/UcVtMWUuAw pic.twitter.com/g2eP4q0MQ2 — RNC Research (@RNCResearch) March 26, 2021 Why are people so cowed by transparent bullshit?

  • Human Traffickers Taunt Republican Senators and Border Patrol

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 26th 2021 3:17pm EDT

    This is a real crisis. We need them to show up and be serious for once. Even if this is a bit dramatic even for Ted, I would rather him be drawing attention to the issue than ignoring it. It could be a lot worse. They could be working with the Democrats to pass a […]

  • Oakland Is Experimenting With Woke Basic Income

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 26th 2021 1:05pm EDT

    I’m a strong supporter of Universal Basic Income. Universal Basic Income and Universal Maximum Income were our ideas. They were part of Sen. Huey Long’s “Share Our Wealth” platform during the Great Depression. It was also populists, not progressives, who came up with ideas like Social Security, free college tuition, the income tax and regulating […]

  • AP: In a Nation Founded on Whiteness, How to Really Discuss It?

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 26th 2021 12:01pm EDT

    The media has no interest in a “conversation about race.” Presumably, a conversation is a discussion between two sides. They’re not interested in that. They’re only interested in demonizing you, scolding you, lecturing you and talking down to you because of your race. U.S. News: “John Bost seems precisely the kind of person that his […]

  • Podcast: A Top GOP Pollster On Trump 2024, QAnon and What Republicans Really Want

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 26th 2021 9:21am EDT

    I covered that poll earlier this month when it was released. New York Times: “In the aftermath of the Capitol attack, the polling firm Echelon Insights decided to ask voters a simple question: Do they think the goal of politics is more about “enacting good public policy” or “ensuring the country’s survival as we know it?” […]

  • Tucker Carlson: The Left Isn’t Funny Anymore

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 26th 2021 8:32am EDT

    PC Principal has taken over the comedy industry. He has also taken over the military, “journalism,” social media, etc.

  • Secular Talk: YouTube Is Obliterating Independent Media’s Reach

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 25th 2021 7:41pm EDT

    It is the Populist Left’s turn now to be censored. The political and corporate establishment wants to shut these guys down. They’ve pretty much finished off the Populist Right on YouTube. You’re not allowed to say things on the internet that contradict the narrative. We can’t have independent content creators amassing a larger audience that […]

  • Joe Biden’s Establishment Foreign Policy

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 25th 2021 5:51pm EDT

    The Syria Strike was the moment that I stopped supporting Trump. I never supported him again after he attacked Syria in April 2017. While it is true that Trump didn’t start any new wars (the bar was set pretty low on that front), he also more or less continued with business as usual with the […]

  • Big Tech CEOs Testify On Capitol Hill

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 25th 2021 3:02pm EDT

    The only thing that I am interested in hearing is what steps Republicans are taking to destroy Facebook, Amazon, Twitter and Google after they allowed progressive activists to rig their platforms and silence their populist opposition. Anything short of that is a complete waste of time.

  • Poll: Republicans Believe They Experience More Discrimination Than Blacks These Days

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 25th 2021 12:11pm EDT

    I don’t see how anyone could believe otherwise. Newsweek: “Republicans feel conservatives face more discrimination than Black people do in America, according to a recent poll. In a The Economist/YouGov poll, respondents were presented with several groups and asked: “How much discrimination do the following people face in America today?” Conservatives was one of those and […]
